Note: The following printer, bookseller, or publisher lists are works in progress. They are generated from title page imprints and may reproduce false and misleading attributions or contain errors.

What does "printed by" mean? How to read the roles ascribed to people in the imprints.

In terms of the book trades, the lists below are sorted into up to four groups where: the person is designated in the imprint as having a single role:

  1. "printed by x"; or
  2. "sold by x"; or
  3. "printed for x" or "published by x";

or as having the seller and printer roles in combination, or an absence of the printer's name following "London: printed:" or "London: printed,":

  1. "printed and sold by x"; or "printed for and sold by x"; or "printed by and for x"; or "printed: and sold by x"; or "printed, and sold by x";  and so on.

On this last point, trade publishers may seem to have "printed" or "published" the work, though they did not own the copyright. The lists below reflect only the information on the imprint, except where ESTC provides extra information.

The true Christian religion againe discovered; after the long and darke night of apostacy; which hath over-shadowed the whole world; for many ages; and the profession and practise thereof witnessed unto by the Scriptures. And here all may see who it is, (of all these sects and divers forms of religion, that are in these nations) that are agreeable to the Scriptures in what they profess and practise, and who it is that are not according thereunto; for the line of true judgement is stretched upon all profession, and a true search into, and tryall thereof is made and hereby it is manifest who it is, and what sort of people that may justly claime the benefit of the Protectors oath, to be protected thereby in their practises of religion, who hath bound himself to maintaine and uphold, that Christian religion, which is according to Scriptures, &c. This is written for the good of this Commonwealth, and the Information of all people in it. By a friend to all people, especially them that fears.
