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.

in. 50.

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.

BERGHE, NicoLAus van den. See Hill, Nicholas.

1550. BERNAERDT, DAVID, of Antwerp, " bouckprenter, met Thomas

Reinot." Dutch Church Reg. I, 203.

Thomas Raynald, to whom the above probably refers, was at the sign of the Star, in St. Paul's Churchyard, at this date.

BERTHELET— BIRCKMAN. 3

1549. BERTHELET, THOMAS.

Mention is made of ' ' M. 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. He may have been some relation.

157 1. BIRCKMAN, AGNES, sent Andreas Fremorshem and Rejoiold

Mercator as factors.

See below, Fremorsham and Mercator.

BIRCKMAN, ARNOLD, St. Faith's, Farringdon Within.

1559. Amoudt Birickman, boeckvercooper, appears in the list of the St. Lucas-Gilde at Antwerp in this year. (Li^eren, I, 213.)

1564. 21 Apr.

BIRCKMAN, HENRY.

1535- [brikman'], stationer from Culemberg, under the obedience of

the Emperor. Denization 19 Feb., 1535. Denizations, p. 32.

This stationer may have nothing to do with the Birckman family. Kuilenberg, where Veldener printed in 1483, is 12 miles south of Utrecht, in Gelderland.

BIRCKMAN, JOHN, St. Faith's, Farringdon Within.

(?) Denization as Brikeman, from the dominion of the Emperor, having an English wife. In England 30 years. 14 Apr., 1 541. Denizations, p. ^2.

1541. [BRIGHTMAN], "kepyng shopp in Paules Churche Yarde,

withone John Calwood." Valued at " C markes." I, 67.

This seems to suggest a separate establishment for Cawood in 1541.

1547. [BRYKEMAN], stranger, xxxli. I, 134.

BIRCKMAN NOTES.

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. BISHOP, GEORGE [BYSHOPPE], named with Cawood and Ju^e as

being with Reynold Mercator, the Birckmans' factor in St Paul's

Churchyard. {See note tmder Mercator.)

There is a denization of a Cornelius Claesson, 29 Jan., 1551 {Denizations, p. 47), which might perhaps be the above man. Also on May 31, 1572, the Church at Emden sent their blind brother Cornells Claesson to the Dutch Church in London, asking them to find him employment, and stating that he had been in London before.

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. CUELEN, URBANUS VAN, Smithfield, " bouckprenter." Dutch

Church Reg. I, 209.

From the following extracts we have some of his after history. He seems to have fled from Mary with many others to Emden, where he became a citizen, and resided perhaps from 1557 to 1571, when Plantin, in whose employ he was at some time, gave him his certificate for exercising his calling in Antwerp.

Described as " met Nicolais [Hill] de prentere." I, 208.

Can this have been Petrus Dathenus ? He did come from Ypres, and had many names, among which are d'Athenes, Mountain, van Bergen. The last was like the Dutch name of Nicholas Hill — van den Berg. See below Dathenus.

DATHENUS, PETRUS.

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. I, 155), appearing again as Mountayne in Lynseys Rentes, in the same ward, in 1551 (I, 219), in both cases valued at xx s. Dathenus' real name was probably van Bergen : he called himself Montanus when he practised physic at Stade and other places in 1585 onwards. See Biographie Universelky 1852, Vol. X.

In Liggeren .... der Antwerpsche Sint Lucasgilde, under date 1572 (Vol. I, p. 248), appears an Antony van Dist, drucker, who is perhaps identical with this man, who was born in Antwerp, and whose name is found in the Returns of Aliens only once, in 1571. In the Ecclesiae Londino-Bafavae Archivum (ed. Hessels, Vol. I), occurs a Latin letter (No. 144) from Abr. Ortelius, Antwerp, to Jacob Colius, his nephew, at London, 9 Jan., 1586, in which he says: "There is here the widow of Anthony Diesthius, who would be glad to know through you how her brother Gabriel Gayot fares among you, as she has not heard anything of him for nearly three years past. She thinks you know him .... He is a ' tjrpo- glaphus (lettersteker vulgo).'"

1568. DERICKSON, JOHN.

[Deryckson] Admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, 8 Feb. (Arber I, 365. ) There are three denizations of men of this name, two of which are in 1562. There is also, in 1567, a "John Direckesonne, Bridge Without Ward, Dutch, denizen, here 18 yeares" (/?. of A. I, 343), but the name is too common for any identification at present.

1566. DESSERANS, JOHN, from the dominion of the King of France. Letters of denization, 26 April. Denizations, p. 77.

1576. [DESERRON], servant to Robert Cambier, St. Anne's, Black- friars. II, 181.

Desserans was associated with Peter Bonneval, and also with VautroUier, according to Rooses. {See his Plantin, p. 258. ) Plantin got Desserans and VautroUier to take up an agency for him in London in 1567 ; he promised Desserans 164 per cent. 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.

He does not appear in the 1559 or 1564 Lists of the Aliens in Farringdon Ward.

1549. DEVALT, NICOLAS, of Antwerp; his factor Sybryck van Roy, q.v.

Devalt does not appear as connected with printing ; his factor was Brother of the Stationers' Company, but may, of course, have been of some other trade.

Thomas Devell is mentioned in the 1557 Charter. He was not an alien, but does not even appear in the English part of the Subsidy list.

DIEST, ANTHOW VAN. See Deise.

DOESBORCH, JAN VAN.

1524 (?) Under Parochia Sancti Martini in Campis occurs the entry:

'* De Joharme van Dwysborow, extraneo, pro xl s. per annum, ij s."

I, 7.

Is it possible that the Farson of Kalenborowe whidi Mr. Proctor, in his monc^raph on this printer (p. 34), placed after 1520, and which he sa>-s has ornaments that occur in no other of Doesborch's books yet known, might have been printed by him over here, with ornaments borrowed in England for a change ? 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. ERVE, EGIDIUS VAN DER, "Senior," in the Dutch Church

Register. I, 202.

Also called Gillis vander Herue, " met zyn vrauwe Anna," among the Diaconi, on the same page.

1^51. Gillis vander Herue, met Anna. Dutch Church Reg. I, 212.

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. From Kuyper, loc. cit.

Also mentioned in the article on A. van Haemstede by J. ab Utrecht Dresselhois, in Archiefvoor Kerk, Geschied. VI.Deel. Leiden, 1835. p. 83.

The British Museum has two copies (C. 25. b. 18, and G. 1 21 38), and according to Kuyper, loc. cit., there are copies in the Bodleian Library and the Library of the French Church in St. Martin's le Grand. Arber (V, 17) and Schickler (I, 37) mention this book.

The translators of this version were Johannes Utenhoven, Godfr. van Wingen, Mikron, Vincentius Frizius, Deleen, and perhaps others. Su Dr. F. Pijper'syizw Utenkove, Leiden, 1883 ; Meiners' Kerkel. Geschiedenis, I, 363. Le Long, and after him Kuyper, mentions this book, which is rare.

Owing to differences about spelling between the printer and publisher, the latter (Herman van den Ende) sold the paper that was ready for a folio edition, and abandoned publication. Hence the book was issued in this small form. See Ecclesiae Londino- Baiavae Archivum (ed. Hessels), Vol. II, No. 18, note 3.

This entry is after 29 Jan. , 1560.

With regard to the Catechism printed by Hill in 1553, the title is: "De catechismus oft kinderleere, die men te Londen, in de Duytsche ghemeynte, is gebruyck- ende. — PsaL 119, .... Gedruct tot Londen, by Ny colas van den Berghe. am»o ^553-" There is a copy of this in the Stadtbibliothek of Mainz, the only

HILL— HOLLYARD. 31

one now known. 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. Jhones- strete by Nycolas Hyll for Gwalter Lynne, dwellyng on Somers Kaye by Byllyng's gate," while the other omits the words " by Nycolas HilL'"

In the Edictum dc librorum prohibitorufn ctUalogo obseroande (Antwop, 1570) is mentioned " Een cort begrj'pe ende slot van der gansser heyliger scriftueren des oaden ende nieuwe testamente, gedruckt te Londen by Niclaes %-an Berghen." {See Beigman's Imprimeurs Beiges h ritranger. Gand, 1897.)

He is called Amolde Vaukyll in the note of the Lard Mayor who imprisoned him with John Stell in 1568, and .\mold van Golke in the licences for a German' almanack, tc^ether with Stell, in 1569. {See under Stkll below.) An Aert van Gnylick is mentioned in the li^ of those persecuted for religion who fre- quented the various London churches in 1568. (R. of A., I, 385.)

Lewis Senior had moved to Fleet Yard at this time, and Hue in this entry is only fined per poll " iiij d." It is, therefore, probable that he was still Senior's servant.

John Howe was admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, 16 Mar., 1562 (Arber I, 187), and Jean Hue, relieur, is reported to have come in 1562 according to the Search for Strangers, S. P. Dotn. Eliz., 1571.

1576. St. Sepulchre's, Old Bailey Quarter, Goose Alley, poll iiijd. II, 172.

It seems that these entries refer to one man because of a letter noted in Ecclesiae Londino- Batavae Archivum (ed. 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. Salomon de Brow his servant. II, 219, 301.

A Richard Jones was made Brother of the Stationers' Company, 7 Aug., 1564. Arber I, 278. However the above is called Englishman.

In 1565 a Richard Jones had a shop at the N.W. door of Paul's ; in 1566 he dwelt at the Spread Eagle in the upper end of Fleet Lane ; in 1576 he dwelt over against St. Sepulchre's church without Newgate ; in 1 579 had a shop on Snow Hill over against that church, and in 1 581 was at the Rose and Crown in Holborn over against the Falcon near Holbom Bridge without Newgate.

And it is reported he departed this land and wente over the sea five yeres agoe and is not yet returned." II, 308.

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.

May we connect him with Salomon Kerknett, compositor, 1576-7, who was in Bassand>-ne's employ, being brought by him from Magdeburg ? See Aldis, Lut of Books printed in Scotland before ijoo, p. 1 1 5.

Urbanus van Cuelen in 1550 is said to be in Smithfield, but was in Emden in 1557. There is no likelihood of his having come back again to England, so that Urban Lynyng and Urbanus van Cuelen do not seem to be identical.

The number of "Douch" in this ward, 121, given at the end, must include these three Englishmen, two of whom had been royal printers since 1558. There is surely some mistake in the entry.

1576. servant to Arnold Birckman. II, 179.

Rumold Mercator was the son of the great Gerard Mercator of " Projection " fame, and his native place was Duysburg. In the Ecclesiac Londino-Batavae Archi- vum (ed. Hessels, Vol. I), are three letters referring to him. 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.

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

E. V. Meteren. Commentarien ofte memorien van den Nederlandtschen Staet, handel, oorloghen ende gheschiedenissen van onsen tyden, etc. Mede vervat- tende eenige haerder ghebuerer handelinghen. 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

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). Meteren died 8 April, 1612.

MIERDMAN. 45

The following is a contribution to a list of his books :

1536. 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.

PYNSON, RICHARD.

1513. from Normandy, Letters of denization 30 July. Denita-

This is probably the son of the famoas printer who was said in the latter's will, Nov., 1529, to be lately dead (Arber II, 7). He was also said to have left a daughter Joan, who married in 1537 (see DuflF's Century, p. 127). 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).

Renialmi was a witness to VautroUier's will, and his own will is given in Plomer's Wills, p. 35. 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— ROCHEFORTH. 55

person who supplied cloth and cotton at the funeral of Sir Thomas Lovell in 1524). 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.

There was one of this name author of an Almanack and Prognostication which was printed in 1560 by Owen Rogers (see Arber I, 152; Hazlitt II, 520, III, 212).

56 ROCHEFORTH— RUREMUND.

lie appears as publisher 1562-4 {see Arber I, 215, 263, 265 ; Hazlitt II, 477, 520). His name is also spelt Rogeford. There does not seem any reason to doubt that Starkerfelser is the German equivalent of Rocheforte.

I57i.(?) ROMNEY, thomas, compositor, who worked in the same house with Jan Janssen for 7 years (for Jugge ?). See Johnson, John.

It will be noticed that the 14 years agree exactly with the time (1557) when Henry Starkerfelser, or Rocheforth, was admitted Brother. It is suggested above that the Pawll of 1559 may be this typefounder. There is also a son of Poll Rotteforde mentioned, John a childe, in this roll.

1 54 1. ROWE, JOHN, servant to Herry Harman, the Birckmans' factor. I, 67.

This is perhaps the French bookbinder who got into trouble for dispersing English New Testaments sold him by Christopher, a Dutchman of Antwerp, in 1531. See Foxe's Martyrs, 4th ed. by J. Pratt, Vol. V, p. 37. There is a letter, written in London, 24 Aug., 1555, by a John Rowe (Harl. MSS., No. 353, fol. 143), referred to in Foxe, Vol. VI, p. 768. 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. See Duff's Century, p. 139.

An entry on I, 458 (Men servants, strangers, dwelling with the denizens), 1 571, Tower Ward, "John Hulbusch scrivenour borne in Gelderland, hath bene in England 7 weekes " perhaps refers to the son mentioned below.

1576. [SKVLDER alias PAINTER], St. Martin's, Farringdon Without,

in the house of Jeffry Ponde, Englishman; valuation xx s. II, 171.

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. Wt den Grieckschen Autheur Plutarchus, int Neduytsch (sie) overgheset. Ghedruct by Richard Schilders, 1575, 8^, said to be in fine gothic characters. A copy was in the library (No. 670) of the Chev. 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).

Although the abode, nationality, and number of years are differently described, it seems hardly likely that these two entries refer to different bookbinders. There is a denization of a John Simon, from the dominion of the Duke of Gueldres, 20 June, 1 57 1 (Denizations, p. 221) which may apply to this man. There is also one, from the dominion of the King of France, of John Symond, 1 1 Feb. , 1573 {ib., 223), but the same person also appears 30 Mar., 1573, as John Rowe, alias Symond (p. 210).

Thomas Marshe dwelt in Fleet Street, near St. Dunstan's Church, which would be in Farringdon Ward Without, and this man is described as servant, while the Christian name Charles is extremely rare in these lists.

1544. SOLENCE, ANTONYE, Bassishaw Ward, servant with George Bysmere, English gentleman. I, 84.

Possibly the Anthony de Solempne who printed at Norwich, 1568-80, having gone there in 1567. The following note of some books issued by him may be useful to add to the articles in Bibliographical II, 150, and III, 481 : —

1568. Belijdenisse ende eenvoudige wtlegghinge des gheloofs, gemaect van de dienaers der Kercken Jesu Christi in Switserlant: te weten te Zurich, te Bemen, te Schaphousen, te Sainct Gal, te Chur der Rhetzen, ende hare Bondtghenoten, te Meylhousen ende Biennen, byden welcken dat haer oock de Dienaers vande Kercke van Geneven ghevoecht hebben.

1567. in Aldersgate Ward, among the Dutch denizens, occurs the

entry of "Spilmans wife " (in England), 2 years. I, 327.

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. STAMFOLD, BARTHOLOMEW, Farringdon Without, printer, Dutch.

There is also a denization of a Bartholomew Sandforde from the dominion of the Iving of Spain, 8 July, 1586. Denizations, p. 215. Perhaps the same person.

Dutch Church, he asks them to refer for knowledge of his affairs to Hans Stel Bookseller at " Ducx plaetse." See Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivum (ed. Hessels, Vol. HI, No. 694). This is the Duke of Norfolk's place mentioned above, and agrees with the liberty of Creechurch.

TURGAY, JOHN.

1562. Admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, i June. Arber I, 187.

The Dutch Church Register has the name Jan Torkhbrs' in 1567, as also that of Matthys Tbrhors'. It seems just possible that these may refer to Turgay and Turkeste below. See R. of A., I, 370,

TURKESTE, MATTHEW, St. Olave's, Tower Ward.

In 1579 Richard Field, son of Henry Field of Stratford-on-Avon, was apprenticed to G. Bishop, and put with VautroUier for 6 years to learn printing. He after- wards married Vautrollier's widow, and succeeded him in business. In 1580 VautroUier was in Edinburgh, and till April 1582 at least. 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. [VANTROVILLIER], printer, and wife, French, came to get living,

In 1 584 he returned to Scotland, this time in flight for having printed Giordano

Bruno. He returned to London in 1586, and died July, 1587. See Aldis,

loc. cit. 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. VAYTER, NICHOLAS, servant to John de Planche, ^.v.

Nicholas Valtere, servant, French, no denizen, 1567, Farringdon Within Ward (I, 360), is possibly the same. He was admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company 3 Mar., 1567, as Waltere. Arber I, 344.

John Johnson [(j.v.) and Verhagen were both of Antwerp, the former coming here apparently two years before the latter. It may be that they went away together also, as neither of them appears after 1576 in these lists, and in 1581 Henrick de Corput, writing from Dordreclit, describes Janssen as a compositor with Verhagen there. EccUsiae Lotidino- Baiavae Archivum (ed. Hessels), Vol. Ill, No. 696. Also this Peter may have been some relation of Godfried or Govaert van der Haeghen, the Antwerp printer of 1527 -36, and his widow, Angell. See DuflPs Century, p. 64. Peter printed at Dordrecht at least till 1625, including a small folio Dutch Bible in 1581, Dathen's Psalms the same year, and Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History in 161 3.

In the Registers of the Dutch Church, Austin Fnars, London, edited by Mr. Moens, under date 1589 is the baptism of Isaac Wanteneel f. Hans, 16 Nov. (p. 79). Christopher Plantin had transactions with Wantenell, as with several others in Blackfriars (Rooses' /Va«/m, p. 408), and he is mentioned frequently in the Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivum (ed. 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). In 1592 Ortelius, in a letter to Meteren, mentions a Richard Verstegen at Antwerp from whom Woldnell got his copies of an English book (No. 218).

A William Williamson was apprenticed to Richard Jugge for 9 years from 2 Feb. , 1562 (Arber I, 171), and made freeman 23 Apr., 157? {ib. I, 447). There are books published by him at the White Horse in St. Paul's Churchyard and at his shop joining unto St. Peter's Church in Comhill, 1571-74 (Arber V, 80, 84, 89, 92). Baron de Schickler notes a book (I, 204), " Imprim^ a Londres (sur la copie de Heydelberg), par Guill. Williamson, 1573," and another printed in the same type without printer's name. There are, William Williamson, 1559, in E^t Smithfield [R. of A., I, 254), and William Gillam, St. Sepulchre's, Holbom Cross Quarter in 1564 (I, 299), which may either or both refer to the " Brother."

This is perhaps his widow. It seems strange that there should be "both James Wilforde and Jacob Woelfaert with wives named Catherine, and both in St. Martin's in 1571 ; but it will be noted that the descriptions are quite different, Wilforde having been here only \\ years in 1 571, whereas Woelfaert had been some 22 years. 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.
