JHE BOOKS printed by the Bibliographical Society can only be supplied to its own members, but new members may purchase the publications of previous years, and members who have lost or damaged any of their books can obtain a second copy at the prices named. But where an asterisk is prefixed, the books can only be supplied in sets, and in no case can more than one duplicate copy of any book be supplied to the same member. Subject to this condition purchase for presentation is also allowed, but the Council retains the right of refusing any application, without necessarily assigning a reason. A few extra copies have been struck off of Mr. Reed's " List of Books and Papers on Printers and Printing" {Transactions, Vol. 3), and of Mr. Gray's •'William Pickering" [Transactions,^ o\. 4). Price, in each case, 2s. 6d. Extra copies of indi- vidual papers have also been printed for presenta- tion to their authors, and, in the case of Mr. Hyett's " Rules for County Bibliographies," for gratuitous distribution. But neither these extra copies, nor the Netvs Sheets — everything of interest in which is reprinted in the 'J'raiisactions — are reckoned as necessary to a complete set of the Society's Publications.

In other volumes the sections were called Part I, Part II, respectively on the wrapper, and Part I had also a temporary title- page, while that to Part II covered the whole volume. In Volume VI the title-page to Part II was inadvertently made to refer to that Part only instead of to the whole volume, and an additional title-page was afterwards sent out.

BEING AN INDEX TO THOSE WHOSE NAMES OCCUR IN THE RETURNS OF ALIENS, LETTERS OF DENIZATION, AND OTHER DOCUMENTS PUBLISHED BY THE HUGUENOT SOCIETY. WITH NOTES BY ERNEST JAMES WORMAN. ilk LONDON : PRINTED FOR THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, By BLADES, EAST & BLADES. December, 1906, PREFACE. THE following list was originally intended as a mere Index to the valuable documentarj' annals of the book-trade to be found in the Returns of AlUns as published by the Huguenot Society. But the periods w^ch have elapsed between the issue of the parts of that work — the editing of which must have bristled with difficulties — have given opportunity for some amount of expansion. All names from the Letters of Demsation, published by the same Society, that could be thought to belong to the subject, have been included, and many other works have been constantly laid under contributicHi, so that it may fairly be hoped that a very large proportion of foreign booksellers, printers, and binders who resided in England during the Tudor period are to be found in the List. Any English names that find a place by chance in the various records are of course duly noted. For a few of the printers an attempt has been made to notice their productions, as they are very scarce, and no library seems to have a laige collection of them. The entries from the Returns of Aliens are very largely from Subsidy lists; when, however, they come from some other source — such as the Registers of the Dutch Church included in those volumes — the source is mentioned just before the volume and page. My thanks are due to the Coimcil of the Huguenot Society, and to Mr. R. S. Faber, their Secretary, for early cojues of the sheets of their VI. PREFACE. publications, and for the large-hearted way in which they have condoned such extensive purloinings therefrom. It is to be hoped that they and the editors of their volumes will be pleased with this attempt to prove the usefulness of their works. To Mr. E. Gordon Duff also, who sent me many names to be hunted for, and gave me invaluable suggestions, I am very grateful. E. J. W. BOOKS TO WHICH REFERENCE IS FREOUENTLY MADE.

There is a denization of a Robert Baker from the dominion of the King of France, 9 March, 1562 {Denizations, p. 12), which perhaps may be this man. The 1582-3 entry is inserted (although perplexing by the difference of abode), because Robert Bahere, of Southwark, feltmaker, apprenticed his son, Isack Bahere, to John Hunsworth, 28 Oct., 1581, for 8 years. See Kxb&x II, 108. Isack was himself citizen and stationer in 1594. See Arber II, 191. BASSANDYNE, THOMAS. He is said by Dickson and Edmond {Annals of Scottish Printing, p. 273) to have been a native of Scotland, but Hallen, in his paper on " Huguenots in Scotland" in the Proceedings of the Huguenot Society of London, vol. II, p. 173, inclines to think him of Flemish origin. He also states that a printer named Waldgrave, a Huguenot, is mentioned in the State Papers (Scot.). But can this be the well- known printer Robert Waldegrave ? [Note kindly furnished by Mr. R. S. Faber.] See also under Kirtner. In the Denizations, p. 16, occurs the name of James Bassantyne, from Scotland, as having taken out letters of denization 3 June, 1 562. 1567.

Barthelette's Aley " between entries of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and " The strete side." The aliens therein are Gillam Jebbet (valua- tion vij li. ), Cornelius Garrett, his servant, and John Burnett (valuation xls.). The alley would probably be Crewkeme, or Crokhome, which is mentioned in Berthelet's will. See Plomer's Wills, etc., p. 11. As the name does not seem to be very common, it may be worth while to note here that in Richard Arnold's book, beginning "In this booke is Conteyned the names of y« baylifs ... of the dte of Londo ..." F°. (? 1503. See B.M. Cat. under Arnold, and Sayle, p. 1,299), on p. 5 recto occurs the name of Robert Bartylot in St. Magnus parish at London Bridge, whose "valewe" on I Dec, 1494, was vli. vis. viijd. xv, and whose "stynt" was xiijs. viijd.

In spite of the painstaking article on " Franz Birckmann, Buchhandler in Coin und Antwerpen 1510-1530, und seine Familie," by Albrecht Kirchhoflf in his Beitrdge zur Geschiehte des deutschen Buchhandels, i'" Bandchen, Leipzig, 1851, the above references to the Birckmans and other traces of their activities in England are very confusing. Franz Birckman, who had much to do with Erasmus, especially as the agent or partner of Froben, is supposed to have died about 1530, when his name no longer appears on books as publisher. Arnold Birckman is said by Kirchhoflf to be son of Franz, while he is called his brother in the Allgermitu Deutsche Biographic. His publications extend from 1532 to 1540, and in 1548 his widow's name appears. In 1544 the will of John Reynes (Plomer's Wills, p. 7) speaks oi Arnold TcaAJohn Bryckman as selling in London to the booksellers. In the entries above, Arnold does not seem to be in England in 1541, while in 1544 he may have been here or his factor's name may simply be omitted. He was in London himself, 4 July, 1549, when he wrote to Dryander, at Cambridge, saying he had sent a specimen of the latter's Dictionary to Lyons. He seems to have been here in 1556, when the collection for Bridewell was made. In 1567 BIRCKMAN— BLOND. 5 Arnold is called denizen, and after that he has £u:tors here. Kirchhoff, in speaking of John (p. 122), suggests that he b someumes called Arnold and sometimes John. It may be that there were two Arnolds, one the brother, the other the sch of Franz. The mention of AfiK^d and John together is distinct, first in Reynes* will, and then in the entries given above for 1544 and 1549, and many letters of John are extant. Sec DaflTs Cenittryr, pp. 13-15- John Birckman poblished Crom 1566 to 1573, while his widow's name appears from 1575 to 1585. Daring Christopher Plantin's time (1555 to 1589) he had to do with three Birckmans at Antwerp — Arnold, Godfrey, and John. See Max Rooses' CkristopJu Piantin, p. 40S. In 1 57 1 the factors seem to have given two different accoonts of their mission, being servants to Arnold (I, 411) and Agnes (II, 12). No information about the latter is forthcoming. She is mentioned too early to be the widow of John Birckman, bat, Iiavii^ the same fictms, may have been connected with Arnold. Two additions to the list of 26 books given by Kirchhoff as published by Franz Birdcman, 1 513 to 1529, may be mentioned here. One is a Biblia Sacra, printed by Petrns Quentel, of Cologne, in 1527 (foL), on the last page of which appear two medallions, the upper one the printer's mark used by John and also by Francis II (see Duff, p. 14), the lower containing a -^ mark with -FR- -BIR- encircled by a border, with legend "Fortuna cum blanditor time vel maxime metuenda est." The second book is Fisher's De veriiaU corporis et sanguinis Ckristi in EucharistiOy adversus Johannem Oaolaatfadiumf also Qoentel, Col<^rne, 1527, with the same marks on the last leaf: in the printer's pre£ux he says : " Qoos qoidem libros Franciscus Birckman bibliopola integerrimos de anthoris ipsins in Anglia manu nobis excudendos dedit." The sign of the " pingnis gallina " was evidoitly a play upon the family name, as " Birkhohn " is a brooding hen. It is possible that the same s^ was used by them in St. Paul's Churchyard, as Charles Utenhove in a Latin letter to J<dm Utenhove in London, 1562, speaks of Andreas Vrimorsanus (bctor to the Birckmans) as beiz^ with the booksellers at the sign, he thought, of " pingnis gallina." 1571.

In all three of the above references Crenettes or Grenetys is the only name in St. Faith's Parish which is not certainly that of one connected with the book- trade. This tempts one to suggest that the Joannes Crinitus who printed Erasmus's de conscribendis epistolis at Antwerp, in 1546, may have had a shop in St. Paul's Churchyard in the same manner as the Birckmans. His name occurs at Antwerp also in 1540, as the printer of several books. See W. NijhofTs Bibliographic, Nos. 85, 673, 1 190. CTEMATIUS, G. See Erve. 1550.

Baron de Schickler (I, 178, note) says that this man, who was afterwards minister at Heidelberg, had been "bookseller" at London under Edward VI, and had also preached there. In the Specimen historico-theologicum Petri Datheni vitam exhibens, quod examini siihmittet Hubertus ter Haar .... (8°. Utrecht, 1858) we learn that Dathenus seems to have entered the Carmelite monastery at Ypres when about the age of 18 or 19, but to have left on account of his reformed ideas. See note under Cupere above. There was a Peter Mounton in St. Katherine's next the Tower in 1549 (i?. of A.

The arrangement only lasted for about a year. Cambier also had business with Plantin. It is possible that John de Sheron (^.?'.), servant to Thomas Hacket in 1564, may be this man.

Against the probability of the above entry referring to the printer must be set the entries of a John Dewysbury, from Dewysbury in the Duchy of Cleves, shoemaJuVy made denizen 1529 {Denizations, p. 79) : "Jan Glaesmaker >-an Duisberch intQeuen in 1550 (I, 206), and John van Dovsborowe servant with Harry Garretson in King's Hospital, 1 551 (I, 232)." 1550.

Gillis van Erven, alias Aegidius Aervius, Gellius Ctematius, and perhaps CoUinus Volckwinner, after having been in England a short time, fled from Queen Mar)', together with John k Lasco, Myerdman, and others. See Ostfriesisches Monats- blattYl, II, and VII, I. During their wanderings in search of a resting-place, which was by no means easy to find, seven of them were called before the Council of Copenhagen, in Decem- ber, 1553, to ascertain their views on Eucharistic matters. Gillis van der Erven was one of these. In 1554 at last the fugitives found a home in Emden, where they were soon active in printing. In the Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archizmm, ed. Hessels, are many references to this printer during his residence at Emden. Godfirey van Wingen, writing to John Utenhove in 1557 (Vol. II, No. 21), says that Aervius has begged him to take in hand the Liesveldt Bible and collate it with those of Zurich and Luther, in order to supersede the poor version printed by GheijUiaert, and Aervius has also threatened to cease printing unless that were soon done. He also says that Aervius has sustained a great loss of help in the death of Nicolas (van Oldenburch ?), and that, inclining more to their improvements in style, he has adopted Du instead of the obsolete Ghy in a reprint of the London Psalms (Utenhove's). For the consequences of his favouring the improved style in the New Testament, see below, under 1556. The following is a list of some books printed by G. van der Erve : 1552. Een claer bewijs van het recht ghebruyck des Nachtmaels Christi ende wat men van de misse houden sal, door Marten Mikron. Lond., 1552. 8°. Kuyper's A Lasco, I, Ixviii. A copy in the Utrecht Library, Theol. Octav. N. 704. Possibly printed by Erve. De cleyne Catechismus oft kinderleere, der Duytsche Ghemeynte, die te Londen is, ghemaect doer Maerte Microen. 8 Octobris, 1552. Kuyper C/oc. cit. ) suggests that this also may have been printed by Erve, and notes a copy in the Biblioth. Teleiobapt. at Amsterdam, Theol. VI, c. 336. 1554. De Christlicke Ordinancien der Nederlantscher Ghemeynten Christi .... te Londen .... Doer Marten Microen .... Ghedruckt buyten Londen, doer Collinus Volckwinners. Anno 1554. 8°. From Kuyper's A Lasco, loc. cit. Isaac Le Long gives this as a pseudonjnn of Ctematius. A copy was said by Kayper to be in the possession of Mr. Fred. MuUer ; but in Muller's Catalogue, "Troubles Religieux," etc., Oct., 1904, appears a copy of the book published at Antwerp by J. Troyens, woonende op de Catte-Veste, in den tennen Pot, 1582, with colophon " Ghedruckt tot Delft, by Cornelius Jansz, woonende by de Vischmerckt, in de vette hinne. Anno mdlxxxii. Eerst ghedruckt buyten Londen, door Collinus Volckwinner ERVE. 19 Anno 1554." Buyten, of course, means "without," and the 1554 book must not there- fore be described as London printed. Perhaps the book No. 296 in the Catalogue "Troubles Religieux," etc., because of its similar imprint, may be noted here. It is " W. Musculus, predicant tot Berent in Svitserlant, Den eersten Psalm Davids, seer fijn ende Christelick wtgheleit," with colophon : " Ghedruckt bwten Lonnen by TheophiluOT Brugensen 1554. 12°. It is described as a work printed by the Nether- lands protestant refugees in London. If the Volckwinner is Erv-e's, perhaps this may be also. 1555. De cleyne Catechismus .... doer M. Microen.

Meiners (OostorUschlandts Kerkelyke Gezck. Groningen, 1738. I, 332.) seems to mention two copies recorded in his day. He savs that John Utenbove translated the great " Oostvriescher Cateclusmos" into the Netherlands dialect for the use of the London church, and had it printed by Nicolaos van den Bei^ in 1553, and that J. J. Harkenroht possessed a copy. Then he says that on the title of a copy of Ctematixis's edition of 1558 be foond inscribed the information that the first edition was printed at London by Nycolas van den Berge, Anno 1553, and that Engelke Pottebakker posseted SQch a copy. It may be also noted that in Foxe's Martyrs, 4th ed., edited by J. Pran, Vol. VIH, p. 759, are described two varying issaes of Cranmer's Catechismas (the transla- tion of Justus Jonas's book), one of which having " Goaltenis Lynne excndebat 1548" on the title, has also colophon " Imprj-nted at Lsndon in S.

Hessels, Vol. IH, No. 694). Jan Janssen, compositor, writing from Dordrecht, 25 Feb., 1581, to the Dutch Church in London, requests them to send an account of his wife's misbehaviour to Dordrecht. He tells them to inquire of Hans Stel, bookseller, at ' ' Ducx plaetse " (Duke's place, in the liberty of Christchurch), also of Jacob Wolfaert, compositor, Richard VVatkins, bookseller, in Paul's Churchyard, Thomas Dauson, printer, and the following men of his own craft, who all worked together with him in one house for seven years : Richard Hudson, Robert Leeuwes, Tomas Romney, Richarde Reed, Richard Eerley : if this were not enough they were to inquire in the place where he had resided, without Newgate, in Secole lane, in Christopher Alley. This corresponds with the entry above in which he is called stationer. It is noteworthy that Jugge, whose address was the Bible at the North door of Paul's, from about 1547 to about 1573, after that date gave the address "by Newgate Market next to Christ Church" until 1576. Johnson may therefore have been with him in both places. In another letter of the same collection (III, No. 696), H. de Corput of Dordrecht, writing to Godfrey Wingius at London, 26 Feb., 1581, speaks of " Jan Janssen lettersetter woonende by Peter Verhagen, boeckdrucker," so that was Johnson's address in that city. They had probably been acquainted in London, as Peter Verhagen was there 1 57 1 -6, the same period as Johnson. JONES— LAMBERT. 35 JONES, RICHARD, Farringdon Without, stationer, Englishman. 1581-3.

Solomon Kirkner was admitted brother 4 Aug., 1577, and was to pay as above, and Henry Bynneman to stop it out of his wages. See Arber II, 675.

One (No. 99) from his father Gerard to Ortelius, 12 Dec, 1580, mentioning that Ortelius had sent him some time before by Rumold some information about Drake's expedi- tion ; a second (No. 109) from Arnold Freijttagh, asking Ortelius to salute for him Rumold Mercator and others; and a third (No. 287), a letter from Rumold, Duysburg, 26 Mar., 1596, saying that he had promised to reply to Ortelius immediately after his return home from Frankfurt fair, and even to send the MS. of Guillielmus Tripolitanus and a description of the river Ana, if he could find. But he was so pushed with domestic affairs that he had only just had time to look through his father's library, (Gerard died 2 Dec, 1594.) Christopher Plan tin had business with Rumold between 1559-89. See Rooses' Plantin, p. 408. 1550. MERLYN, JOHN, apprentice to Scapulys, q.v. \ METEREN, JACOB VAN. 1552.

One excuse for this long entry is the following book which Emanuel van Meteren published : E. V. Meteren.

Ghedruckt op Schotlandt buyten Danswijck, by Hermes van Loven. (At end : ) Tot Londen, voor Emanuel van Meteren, 1609. Frontispiece, map and portraits engraved on wood by van Sichem. (Folio. The description is taken from Muller's Sale Catalogue, Troubles Religieux, etc. Oct., 1904. No. 284.) From the letters in Ecclesiae Londitio-Batavae Archivum (ed. Hessels) we obtain further information with regard to this man. On 8 April, 1556 (Vol. I, No. 6), Ortelius sends maps to him, and addresses him as " Immanuel van Metheren dienaer van Sebastian danckaerts op somers kaij." This was his abode for many years. In 1609 (III, No. 1,695) we have his age, about 74, and the fol- lowing facts : He was brought to England anno 1550, in Edward VI's days, by his father (James, see above), a furtherer of the reformed religion, "as he that caused the first bybel at his costes bee Inglished bij Mr. Mijles Coverdal in Antwerp, the wiche his father with Mr. Eduard Withchurche printed bothe in 44 METEREN— MIERDMAN. Paris and London, be wiche meanes here wel acquainted, was one of the suyters for the erection of a Dutche Churche at the Augustyn Fryars, and made this deponent a member of the same anno 1552." Emanuel was excluded from the Church from the beginning of the Hamstede troubles until i July, 1561 (III, No. 54, note). He seems to have been almost agent for Ortelius in England, as Richard Mulcaster ordering books from Antwerp promises Ortelius that he will pay Meteren (I, No. 104), and on a capture of Philip II's indulgences, illustrated missals, etc., Meteren promised to try and obtain some for Ortelius, 1592 (I, No. 225).

Uitlegging op het 53 eCapittel van S. Joh. Evangelic. ( Antw. , Mierdman ?) 1536. 8". See W. Nijhofif's Bibliographic, No. 439. c. 1540. Een schoone Prophet, van den Doerluchtighen Keyser. Antw. S. Mierdmans. c. 1540. 8°. See W. Nijhoff's Bibliographie, No. 66*, where the type is described as being like that of Niclaes van Oldenborgh. 1543. El nvevo testamento De nuestro Redemptor y Salvador Jesu Christo, traduzido de Griego en lengua Castellana, por Fran9isco de Enzinas, dedicado a la Caesarea Magestad .... En Anberes en casa de Esteban Meerdmanno, en el anno de MDXLlii. The colo- phon gives 25 Oct., 1543, as the date of completion. Enzinas (or Dryander as he is best known) was imprisoned for this book on 13 Dec, 1543. Both printing and sale were stopped by the Emperor, Charles V, although some of the Franciscan Order had pronounced it harmless. See Wiffen's Bibliotheca, ed. by Boehmer. In his Memoires (ed. by Campan, Vol. I, p. Ixxix, a volume of the Collection de Mimoires relatifs d. Vhistoire de Belgique, Brussels, 1862), Enzinas gives some details of conversation with Mierdman on the printing of this work. Mierdman was glad to print that which would conduce to the public good and that of the Church rather than to seek gain or promote strife ; and in answer to the question whether it could be printed without license, he said that it was surely lawful to print the sacred writings without consent or restraint of any man, and adduced the fact that no laws of the emperor had ever forbidden this. He confirmed it by the fact that the Testament had been printed in that same city (Antwerp) by himself or others in all the languages of Europe. " Then said I: set up the press, and get everything ready. I will take the responsibility of the translation, and you shall risk the issuing of it ; and to secure you before our people from any suspicion of fraud I will bear the expense of printing." But although the translation passed, and the title-page— after an alteration for which the sheet was reprinted — yet the dedication to Melanchthon brought down on the translator the displeasure of Pierre de Soto, the Emperor's confessor, and so Enzinas went to prison. In some way Matthew Cron (or Crom) had been mentioned as the printer of this work, and as he had already printed other prohibited books, that was one reason why this was looked on with disfavour. It is curious that they both occur in the next mentioned : 1543. Der sieckentrost. Onderwijsinghe, om ghewillichlijck te sterven. Troostinghe, om den siecken totten rechten gheloove ende betrouwen in Christo te onderwijsen. Ghemeyn bekennisse der sonde, met schoon ghebeden. Apocal. xiiij .... Matt. Crom. 1543.

There was a Jane Pynsen in the Parish of St. Thomas' Hospital, Southwark, in 1559, according to the Returns of Aliens (I, 267), who, however, might be a relation of Gyllam Pynson in the same parish in 1552 (I, 244), who would very likely be the "salt petre maker" born in Normandy (like Rjchard above, and a Fabian Pynson), who took out letters of denization July, 1^44 {Denizations, p. 200).

There it transpires that he was brother-in-law to Francis Bonier (or Bover, q.v.), and that he had a servant, Adrian Marvie, who may perhaps be the man noted under Marius above. He died early in 1600. Rooses states that Plantin dealt with him {Plantin, p. 408). He is mentioned in the Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivum, Vol. I (ed. Hessels), in several places: Ortelius, writing from Antwerp to Em. Demetrius in London, Nov., 1586, says that there are some books printed at Frankfort which he thinks will be useful to him, but he expects that he can see them all at Ascanius's (No. 148). In 1592 Petrus Verheila, in London, thanks Ortelius for the map of ancient Germany received through the bookseller Ascanius (No. 294), while Jacob Cool, writing from London, tells Ortelius he has received a parcel from him through the same source, with enclosures for his brother and Demetrius. Christopher Wurtzung's Praxis medicitiae universalis, 1598, was licensed to George Bishop and Ascanius. [See Arber HI, 84, who, however, has confused him with Yetsweirt. ) It might seem that he was in some way connected with the great Bomberg family, the Venice printers, as Cornelis van Bomberghen is said to be the son of Antoni van Bomberghen and Elizabeth de Renialme, who fled from .\ntwerp to Venice in 1567 (Rooses' Plantin, p. 96). It was to Ascanius de Renialme, merchant bookseller, that Archbishop Whitgift granted a licence to bring into this realm from the parts beyond the seas some few copies of every such sorts of books, written by such as are addicted to the errors of popery, but wanted by the learned though not fit for the general reader; this was in 1586. See Herbert's Ames, III, 1676. Also in 1597-8 there is a letter from the Privy Council to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen asking for Renialme's freedom, in order that the Stationers may be able to make him free of their Company. It is stated there that his trade hurts no one else's. See Acts of Privy Council, 1597-8, p. 290. There are books printed at Frankfort by the "haeredes Ascanii de Rinialme" (,see Hazlitt, I, 199, for Hall's Mundus Alter et Idem, 1605), REYNES, JOHN, St. Faith's, Farringdon Within. 1523. stationer and denizen, valuation xl li. iij s. iiij d.

There is a note in Foxe's Martyrs ^ 4th edition, by J. Pratt, Vol. V, P- 396, which says that in 1539 Friar Bartley, after the suppression of religious houses, was espied by Lord Cromwell in Rheines^s shop in St. Paul's Church- yard in his cord still, and was promised a hanging unless he changed his attire. Reynes's will was proved in 1544, and is given in Plomer's Wills, p. 6. RICHARD, BENET, Aldersgate Ward. 1566. [BENETT RYCHARDES], admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, 8 Jan.

There also occurs once among the denizens a " Rowe, alias Symond, John, from the Dominion of the King of France, 30 Mar., 1573" (Denizations, p. 210), who seems the same with John Simond, bookbinder, below ; but Simond only came over about 1566, so that it will not be the same man as Rowe above.

This printer also called himself Pittore in 1607 on Florio's Historia de la morte de .... Sigfwra Giovanna Grata (" Stampato appresso Richardo Pittore," see Hazlitt, II, 694). The name Painter appears on one of his Middelburg books of 1582. In Arber II, 882, we learn that on the 24 Nov., 1578, R. Skilders " Dutchman " had a press and t)'pe, that he himself was a compositor, and was printing a book for Hans Stell, who was also an alien. He was stopped and made to transfer the book to a member of the Stationers' Company, Thomas Dawson, for whom he worked for wages till it was complete. The book is suggested to be Philips van Mamix vzxv Sant Aldegonde's Bu Hive of the Romish Church, translated by George Gilpin. Thomas Dawson, 1579, for Hans Stell {See Arber V, III). The first Middelburg book of Schilders' known is Robert Brown's Life and Manners of Christians .... in 1582. He issued several editions of the Psalms in metre (English), and Mamix's Dutch translation in 1591, all at Middelburg. The most interesting of the books under his name, because probably printed in England, is the following : — Den Spieghel des Hotnvelicks, waer in door vetl schoone ende gheTtoechelycke redenen, ghelyckenissen ende gheboden, vertoocht ende gheUert ivordty hoe dot man ende loijfhen teghen eUkandtren dragendt een z/rae.'saem, lieflick, ende gheluckich leven met elckanderen sullen leyden.

Gust, van Havre, of Antwerp, sold by F. Muller & Cie., in Dec, 1905. It will be seen that the date of printing comes between the two last entries above, and there is no place of printing indicated on the title. Books from his press at Middelburg are recorded up to l6i6, and an Abraham Schilders printed there in 1620 (jee Hazlitt, III, 88). 1549.

This English bookbinder is known by the entries of his taking apprentices in the Stationers' Registers, up to the year 1569. His abode is not mentioned, but the above entry may perhaps refer to him and suggest his whereabouts. We may notice in connection with this name John Spihnan, who was Her Majesty's jeweller, but had granted to him letters patent in 1598 "to collect l}Tiin ragges &c. for making writing paper or any other paper," he having erected mills for the purpose. See Acts of Privy Council, 1598-9, p. 106. He appears also in 1591-2 (p. 374) with a " Letter of assystance " for the same purpose. 1583.

See Aldis, List of Books printed in Scotland, p. 122. 1582. [VANTROLIER], valuation XV li. 11,252. In 1582 Christopher Barker's report on printing patents speaks of that of Vautro- villere mentioned above, with which ' ' he doth yet neither great good nor great harme." " He hath other small thinges wherewith he keepeth his presses on work, and also worketh for booksellers of the Company who kepe no presses. " Arber I, 144. 1583.

There is a note in the Catalogue of the Library of the Remonstrants at Rotterdam, p. 6, of a copy of a Greek Testament printed by him, London, 1587, ox\ peen paper. Of his children, Manasses VautroUier, stationer, appears, in a list compiled in 1 592-4, as a privileged person in the University and as dwelling in the Town of Cam- bridge ; the MS. list is in the library of Downing College, Cambridge. This is the son to whom Thomas left the printing press and appurtenances he brought back from Scotland. See Plomer's Wills, p. 27. In 1633-4 Manasses is met with in Edinburgh as a bookbinder, where a complaint is brought against him to the Privy Council for illegal caption (Aldis, loc. cit.). Of the three other sons — Simeon, Thomas, and James — Thomas was admitted a freeman of the Stationers' Company by his master, John Legat, 7 May, 1604 (Arber II, 737). 1 57 1.

EccUsiae Lotidino- Baiavae Archivum (ed. Hessels), Vol. Ill, No. 696.

Hessels), under forms Woudneel, Waldnell, Wooudneel, and Woltnel. In 1 586 he was in communication with Ortelius, and in 1587 was travelling back from Antwerp, being entrusted with books for Emanuel van Meteren and Colius in London (Nos. 144, 149); and in ^59i» 1592* 1596, and 1598 there seem to be traces of his taking the same jour- ney, so that perhaps he went every year or oftener (Nos. 196, 214, 294, 323).

The birthplaces of the four are suspiciously near each other however, the country of Home and Messick meaning perhaps the same thing, and CuUen (Cologne) being next door to Cleveland.
