INTRODUCTION.
HE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, like that of
Oxford, possessed the privilege of proving wills and
granting letters of administration to members of the
University, their servants, and persons trading under
the protection of the University, that is to say, who
came under the head of "Scholars' servants."
On nth May, 1544, the University made a statute for the due
registration or matriculation of its members. Those who enjoyed the
privileges of Scholars were to be sworn and to pay what they would
(not being less than fourpence), according to their condition. The fol-
lowing was the oath of the Scholars' servants, and other privileged persons
not "Scholars":
" YOU SHALL SWEAR, that so long as you shall be in the privilege of a
Scholar, you and your servants shall be obedient to the Chancellor and
Vice-Chancellor of the University in all lawful and honest things as
shall concern your person and degree, and keep all good ordinances,
statutes and laudable customs of the University, which doth or shall
concern likewise your person. ALSO, you shall not go about to break
and infringe any privilege or liberty granted by the King's highness or
his progenitors, or hereafter to be granted by the King's Majesty or his
successors to this University, nor suffer none of your servants so to do,
nor help, counsel nor maintain any man going about so to do, at any
time hereafter while you live, so HELP YOU GOD AND THE HOLY
EVANGELISTS."
x. INTRODUCTION.
Nine days afterwards the Vice-Chancellor, Proctors, and Heads of
Colleges interpreted the statute to mean that Scholars' servants who should
be residing in their own houses as fathers of families, or should be lodgers,
or should live in colleges, halls, or hostels, should be matriculated, but
that the servants of servants need not be matriculated unless they wished
it. (Cooper's Annals of 'Cambridge \ vol. I, pp. 414-15.)
This privilege and the abuse of it of being a Scholars' servant,
amenable only to the laws of the University and not to those of the Town,
was the cause of many disputes between the Town and the University.
The wills of members of the University and Town proved between
1501 and 1765, and the inventories attached to them, have been removed
from Cambridge to the Probate Office at Peterborough, and although the
wills and administrations have been indexed, so that reference is easy,
Dr. Palmer in the course of putting the inventories into order has
discovered several of importance connected with Cambridge printers,
stationers and binders hitherto unknown. Thus it comes about that in
this work are printed as many as forty-seven wills and inventories, letters
of administration, or inventories alone, of printers, stationers, and binders.
As notes are attached to each, no attempt need be made in this
Introduction to recapitulate the information thus given, but attention may
be drawn to certain matters concerning the University Printers, and the
information to be added to our present knowledge of the binders and the
materials they worked with.
The inventories attached to the wills of Nicholas Pilgrim (1545), John
Denys (1578), and Bennet Walker (1588) are of interest as showing what
books were then on sale to members of the University. They help to fill
the gap between the Day Book of John Dome of Oxford of which a
fragment for 1520 exists, and has been edited by Mr. Madan (Oxford
Historical Society, Collectanea, vol. I), with notes by Henry Bradshaw
(1886) and the earliest inventory of an Oxford bookseller, that of
Nicholas Clifton, 1579 (Gibson's Oxford Wills, pp. 11-16). In the case
INTRODUCTION. xi.
of these inventories some attempt has been made to identify the books
mentioned in them, but bibliographers will not need to be told how
difficult and uncertain such identifications must be.
The University Printers appointed during the period covered by this
book were: John Kingston (1577), who did not print at Cambridge,
Thomas Thomas (1583), John Legate (1588), Cantrell Legge (1616),
Thomas Buck (1625), Roger Daniel (1632), John Legate the younger
(1650), and John Field (1655). John Hayes was appointed in 1669, but
did not die until 1705, so he does not come into this work.
Until the appointment of Thomas Thomas nothing had been printed
at Cambridge since the disappearance of John Siberch in 1522 or
1523-
From various sources we now know where the printers had their
presses. Thomas and Legate printed in the Regent Walk, which then
existed opposite the west end of Great St. Mary's church. Legge living
on the Market Hill, near the " Rose Inn," no doubt printed there, or
Leonard Greene in his complaint would have mentioned him along with
Thomas and Legate as printing in the Regent Walk. Buck started at the
" Angel," just the other side of the " Rose Inn," at the north-east corner
of Market Hill, and very shortly afterwards moved to the "Augustin
Friars," where Roger Daniel also printed. But John Field either built,
or had built for him, new premises in Silver Street. A most interesting
description by an American Judge of this printing press in 1689, during
John Hayes's tenure of office in succession to John Field, is printed in
the notes attached to John Field. At that time, instead of one press, there
were as many as six.
Of these eight printers we have the wills and inventories (either or
both) of Thomas, Legge, Buck, and Field. The inventory attached to
the will of Thomas Thomas (the University Printer after the death of John
Kingston, who did not print at Cambridge) is of special interest, for it
gives us two more books to add to those already known as printed by him,
xii. INTRODUCTION.
the Terence and Plato's Menexius in Greek, of which no copies are known.
The Terence suggests an enquiry as to its connection with the Terence
printed a few years later by John Legate and sent to London for sale, but
seized by the Stationers' Company. It is well known that a work by
Whittaker, which Thomas was printing in his first year of appointment
(1583), was seized along with his press, etc., by the Stationers' Company,
but probably after the remonstrances made on his behalf the press was
restored, for he printed six books and three folio fly-sheets the following
year. At his death he had on hand copies of all books printed by him
except the edition of Z. Ursinus, Doctrinae Christianae compendium^
1585 (he had the enlarged edition of 1587), and J. Carmichael, Gram-
maticae Latinae liber 2" s , 1587, of which only one copy is known, that in
the Bodleian Library. The "University Tables" ( Catalogus Rectorum et
Cancellariorum ?) may also comprise the Act Verses, of which copies exist
in the Cambridge University Library, along with an almost complete
collection of works printed by Thomas.
The two copies in folio of the Miscellanea of Zanchius, amongst the
works printed by Thomas is a mistaken insertion, and should probably have
come under the head of "In the shop," along with the books valued at
;i2 6s. 2d., for it was printed at Neapoli Palatinorum (Neustadt-an-der-
Hart, a town of France) 1572. Perhaps Thomas was intending to print
something out of that volume, and that might account for the two copies
being in the printing office. The works of Zanchius were in demand, and
the Cambridge University Library possesses a copy of the second volume of
Miscellanea printed " Neostadii Typis Nicolai Schrammii sumptibus loan.
Bill Nortonian. Londinens. Bibliopol. 1608." 4. (Sayle, No. 7761.)
Presumably Thomas sold other books than those of his own printing,
for all books printed by him are valued under this head, and the inventory
specially says how many are in the shop and how many in the garret
(which served as the warehouse), stating also whether in quires or leather,
copies in both states being in both the shop and the garret. So that the
books in the shop valued at 12 i6s. 2d. were not of his printing. He
INTRODUCTION. xiii.
also bound books as he had "calfe skins, boards &c." in his possession
(see Annals of the Cambridge University Library, by C. E. Sayle, in the
Library, iii Series, vol. VI, p. 158).
The full details of his printing-room, with its one press, should be of
great interest as showing what a printer at that period of time found
necessary for his work, and for its contrast with the material necessary
to the present official Printers to the University.
The slight inventory of Cantrell Legge's goods is important. Thomas's
press with its furniture was valued at ^3 6s. &/., his stock of paper
;i6 95-. 6d., and he had 1,445 Ibs. of letter valued at $d. the lb., ^21 18^.,
with 1,254 Ibs. of letter valued at 2d. the lb., ^"10 gs. Legge's press and
furniture was valued at $, his paper ^13 145., and he had 1,000 Ibs.
weight of letter valued at $d. per lb., ,15; but the valuers had under-
valued these items and a much larger sum was realized by their sale. The
most interesting point is his having " 130 Realms of Psalms ^24, 4,000
Grammars ^"56, 3,000 Accidences ;i8, and 500 Lillie's Rules ^3 ios"
The printing of Lillie's Grammar by Legge resulted in a boycott of his
edition by the London stationers, who obtained an Order from the King
to restrain the University Printer from the sale of his books, and seized
upon others of them, according to the University's petition of complaint to
the King at Royston, i6th December, 1621, "to the utter undoing of
the poor printer." The King subsequently directed that the University
Printer might continue to sell his Grammars without let or disturbance
of any person whomsoever. But the King's grant became of little value
in consequence of the leading London stationers combining not to buy
these books, though sold at the cheapest price. Other booksellers were
also, it was alleged, deterred from buying them through fear. To defeat
this combination of printers, the University passed on the 25th of June,
1622, regulations :
i. That no booksellers or stationers in the University should, directly or
indirectly, buy any books from, or sell any books to, Bill, Norton,
xiv. INTRODUCTION.
Barrett, and Knight, or any other Londoner who might join their
society, nor should in any mode contract with them, unless license
were first given under the hand of the Vicechancellor and major part
of the Heads, under penalty of ^10 for the first offence, 20 for the
second offence, and for the third offence to be deprived of the privilege
of the University, and interdicted from all trade and commerce with
the scholars and members of the University for three months.
2. That every bookseller or stationer of Cambridge, under the like penalty,
should keep a true catalogue of all the books which he should purchase
in London or elsewhere, and should exhibit the names of those with
whom or to whose use he had contracted, to the Vicechancellor four
times yearly, namely at Christmas, Lady Day, Midsummer, and
Michaelmas, or within the four following days.
4. That the right of printing all books and the copies of all books by
the privilege of the University and hitherto printed or thereafter to
be printed, after the death, resignation, or other cession, of any of
the University printers, should not be transferred to his heirs, or
assigns, but should be vested in him who should from time to time
enjoy the printing privileges of the University, and that this condition
should be expressed in every grant of the privilege of printing under
the University seal.
5. That whatsoever author the University Printer should print, he should
within one month bring the same to the University Library, decently
and appropriately stitched and bound, under pain of four times the
price.
6. That every bookseller, stationer, and printer, living within the limits of
the University, within two days if he should be at home and in good
health, or within two days after his return or convalescence, should
take a solemn oath before the Vicechancellor faithfully to observe all
the laws, privileges, statutes and decrees of the University, or on refusal
should lose the privilege of the University.
INTRODUCTION. xv.
7. That whosoever either then applied himself to learning in this Univer-
sity, or thereafter should so apply himself, or enjoyed or should enjoy
any academic privilege or degree, who should desire any author, of
whatsoever language, or any composition of his own, to be printed,
wheresoever he should live in England, should offer the copy of the
same to the printers of the University in the first place, or at least to
the Vicechancellor, at a just price, and as much as other printers bona
fide would offer should be given, according to the judgment of the
Vicechancellor and the four senior doctors of the University, or the
major part of them.
8. That every one who should take any degree, should on his admission
promise faithfully to observe the next preceding article, and also if he
became or were a schoolmaster, that he should use the books printed
in the University which may be for the profit of his boys, and not
suffer others than those printed in the University in his school, whilst
the same books should be printed and sold here at a moderate and fair
price by the royal authority. (Cooper's Annals III, 142-5.)
So the boycott continued, but the University could not successfully
contend with the London stationers, and they on 2Qth November, 1623,
obtained an Order from the Privy Council "that the University printers
should not print Bibles, Grammars, Psalms, Psalters, Primers, or books
of Common Law, that they should have but one press, and print no
almanacks but such wherof the first copy should be brought to them."
And by another Order, loth December, "books of Common Prayer were
forbidden to be printed by the University, and as to books whereof the
first copy was brought to the University printer, he was to have the sole
printing, as the London printers were to have of all books whereof the first
copy was brought to them." (Cooper's Annals III, 161-2.)
Thpre is no doubt that the worry and expense connected with these
contests with the London stationers brought on the illness which caused
Legge's death and the involved condition of his own affairs as shown in
the administrator's accounts.
xvi. INTRODUCTION.
Thomas Buck succeeded Legge as University Printer, and is supposed
to have purchased his press and materials. Through the complaint of
Leonard Greene, one of Buck's partners, we know that Buck hired a room
at the "Angel" as a printing office. This "Angel" Inn was next the
" Rose " Inn on the Market Hill (and not on the site now occupied by
the University Senate House as has been stated this was the " New
Angel"), only a few houses away from the house Cantrell Legge had
occupied. Buck soon transferred the printing plant to the Augustine
Friars (on ground now occupied by University lecture rooms), where
Roger Daniel also printed when he leased the printing from Buck. Notes
concerning Buck will be found at the end of his will, amongst which is
included an eulogistic notice of him by Dr. Barrow, printed from a work
to which attention was drawn by Dr. H. P. Stokes in his Esquire Bedells
by an extract from the well-known Cole MSS.
John Field succeeded Buck, but predeceased him. He transferred
the printing works to a new building erected in Silver Street, on ground
leased from Queens' College, and the entry in the inventory " Lease of the
House ^200 " may refer to this. The value of the printing materials, and
probably stock as well, had considerably increased since the valuation of
Cantrell Legge's goods. Possibly Field had more than the one press,
which was all the University printers were allowed to have. Roger Daniel
in 1634 had advocated the establishment of more than one printing house.
On the death of Field the management of the Press underwent a great
change, for the next Printer appointed (John Hayes) leased the printing
on payment of ;ioo a year.
Three other persons Robert Leete (1663), John Foakes (1664), and
Thomas Isburne (1686) are styled printers in their wills, but they had no
presses, and it is concluded that they were connected in some way with the
University Printers of their time.
Although the present writer's Earlier Cambridge Stationers and Binders^
etc.) dealt with the bookbinders, there is still much to be discovered concerning
their work. These wills and inventories help by giving more information.
INTRODUCTION. xvii.
Garrett Godfrey in 1539 left his "iij presses with a cuttynge knife" to
his man Nicholas Pilgrim. Nicholas Pilgrim, who, it is surmised, was a
relative of Garret Pilgrim the Oxford stationer, at his death in 1545
possessed "4 small and 4 bygg presses, a small planyng press, 2 sewing
presses, a cuttyng knife " and other implements used in binding, including
"a Roll to printe withall," and certain other tools. As no binding has
been identified as Pilgrim's it would have been of importance to know
what was the character of this Roll. On his death Peter Sheres was
appointed one of the three Stationers, and he dying in 1569 was succeeded
by his son John, whose inventory, dated 1581, mentions "a great presse,
2 cuttyng presses" and the necessary implements.
Nicholas Spierinck's business had probably passed to his son William,
and this may account for the absence of any mention of his books or
binding materials in his will.
John South (1553) had an old sewing press, a planing press, and "a
printing press." This printing press may be a mis-naming of another
press connected with binding, for he evidently had no type.
The items given in the inventory of John Denys, a Frenchman (1578),
are of great interest, for nothing is known of him at present. He had
" a great playning presse with a barre of wood, 2 plowe presses with iron
pinnes to wind it, 2 plowes with old knyfe, 2 hand presses with rules to
wynde, a great playne and a little with the irons to them, an alphabet
of Roman letters, 2 printes for the cover of books (blocks?), 4 payer of
compasses," and many other tools, including a "riglet for the back, a riglet
of three for the side, a great corner flower, a littler corner flower deluced,
a rose for the backe of the booke, a little pincke." Such a detailed list of
tools and implements should be of great value, and it is hoped may lead to
the identification of some of his bindings.
John Almond (1588) had only a small stock of trade, a press, plough,
fire tools, hammer, and a marble stone, yet he had 234 copies of
Almanacks with prognostications.
xviii. INTRODUCTION.
Other binders are mentioned, such as Robert Gee, who died 1681, but
we have no details of their binding plant.
After these few preliminary remarks it only remains to express the
hope that the printing of these Cambridge Wills and Inventories may
be regarded as a fitting complement to those of Oxford and London, as
edited by Strickland Gibson and H. R. Plomer, and issued by the
Bibliographical Society in 1907 and 1903, and to note that all the
inventories and some of the wills have been contributed by Dr. Palmer,
whilst the notes, biographical and bibliographical, are by myself.
The notes will be found to give much fresh information supplementing
the more detailed accounts in Mr. Bowes's Bibliographical Notes on the
Cambridge University Printers (Cambridge Antiquarian Society, Com-
munications > 1886), and I wish to acknowledge the constant use made of
that work.

2 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
That Peter Breynans was a binder, and "stacioner," is a conclusion
drawn from his having so many Missals, and from the choice given to the
Fellows of Corpus Christi College to have another book of equal value
instead of a Missal. If it were not for these bequests there would be
nothing to connect him with the one printed reference to a binder of that
name (Gray's Stationer s> pp. 26-28). He may probably be identified with
the "Pet r Barneys" who along with "Garreit Stacioner" and others signs
the "indenture of covenant" between the University and Town, 1503, by
which "Stacioners, Lymners, Parchment-makers, Boke-bynders, & others,
shall be reputed and taken as Common Ministers and Servants of the
Universitie .... and shall have & enjoy e lyke privilege as a Scolers
Servant of the Universitie shall have & enjoie " (Cooper's Annals I,
pp. 262, 270). His wife was buried 1526.

furryd gown and iij pressys with a cuttynge knife." To the " Sr bachelar
of the College x s ." Residue of goods to Agnes his wife.
EXECUTRIX : His wife.
WITNESSES : D. Redmayne, Mr. Seton, Sir Nycholas Herman, with others.
Garrett Godfrey, one of the three earliest University Stationers or
Printers, officially appointed by Grace of the University before Michaelmas,
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 3
1534. As a binder he is well known. He is mentioned by Erasmus in a
letter from Rochester to Henry Bullock at Queens' College, August, 1516,
as " my old host, Garrett the bookseller," referring no doubt to the writer's
residence in Cambridge during 1511-1514. In 1511 "Garrett the Cam-
bridge bookseller" carried to London the manuscript of Erasmus'
Icaromenippus from the author to Ammonius (Erasmus' Epistles, trans.
Nichols, II, 26, 49, 53). His "servant" Nicholas Pilgrim, to whom
Godfrey left the three presses with a cutting knife, his fox-furred gown,
etc., evidently succeeded him in the business, but did not long enjoy it,
as he died in 1545 (see p. 10).
The will tells us that Godfrey and Segar Nicholson were cousins.
Nicholson was born at Maestricht, and was educated at Gonville Hall
(now Gonville and Caius College) during 1520-23, at which time John
Siberch, the first Cambridge printer, was printing at the " King's Arms,"
a house on the side of the entrance leading to that Hall, afterwards
acquired by the College, and the gates of Humility and Virtue erected
one at each end (see view in Loggan's Cantabrigia Depictd). The Gate
of Humility was moved from this position in the nineteenth century.
A binder in 1530, if an entry in Searle's History of Queens' College,
"cegarto bibliopolle," really refers to him. Prosecuted and punished in
1531 for holding Protestant opinions, yet in 1534 he was appointed one
of the University Stationers along with Godfrey and N. Spierinck. In
1544 he was living as a binder in the High (now Trinity) Street. In
1548-49 appointed one of the University " appreciatores." Afterwards
(1551-52) we meet with him as a brewer "olim bibliopola huius
achademie" in Magdalene Street, and again in 1554 "a beer brewer
dwelling at Magdalen-bridg," supporting an untried prisoner in the Castle
(Cooper's Annals II, 89). At the burning of John Hullier on Jesus
Green in 1556, it is recorded that "Seager gave him certain gunpowder,
but little to no purpose, for he was dead before it took fire" (ibid. II,
104). In the same year "Zeygar Nicholson berebruer" was one of the
sureties of Steven Walles to Trinity College for building Trinity College
B 2
4 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Chapel (Willis and Clark's Cambridge II, 565). He moved into St.
Edward's parish, and was ordained deacon and priest by the Bishop of
London on iyth and 2ist of December, 1564, being then sixty-four years
of age, and appointed Rector of Doddington, where he died before
1 2th June, 1567, when his successor was appointed. We cannot yet
identify any book as being bound by him, though the lease of his house
in the High Street clearly describes him as a bookbinder. For particulars
of Godfrey and Nicholson, see also Gray's Stationers, pp. 28-36, 62-64 ;
Bowes' Printers, p. 289.

Nothing is known of this man, unless he be the Richard Lichfield,
Churchwarden of Great St. Mary's Church, 1513-14 and 1517, an Elector
several times during 1517-36, and who gave "ij. vj d towards seating the
church" in 1518. In 1515 he is called "Treasurer of the Borough."
None of these entries refer to him as a stationer, and it is only the heading
of this Inventory which tells us his business.

The Lich fields were an old Cambridge family, and it is not unreason-
able to suggest a relationship with the Richard Lichfield, barber of Trinity
College, to whom Thomas Nash dedicated his Haue ivith you to Saffron-
Walden, or Gabriel Harvey's Hunt is Up, 1596. The reply to this, said
by the D.N.B. to be by Dr. Harvey, was entitled The Trimming of Thomas
Nashe, Gentleman, by the high-tituled patron Don Richardo de Medico
Campo?- Barber Chirurgeon to Trinity Coledge, in Cambridge, Lond., for
Philip Scarlet, 1597. A barber-surgeon named Richard Lichfield practised
in Cambridge, and died there in 1630.

(2.) Richard Noke appointed one of the University Stationers 1540 (see Gray's Sta-
tioners, p. 66). In 1545-6 he was paying a rent of xxj s viij d for a tenement in St.
Sepulchre's parish.
(3.) This inventory affords such a good picture of the household of a well-to-do trades-
man of the date that it has been thought well to give it in full, although it has little to do
with Bright's business as a stationer.

[Total about ^50.]
This inventory discovers the house of a well-to-do tradesman. The hall
was evidently the chief living room. It was hung with green say tapestry ;
on the sideboard were coloured wooden trenchers and dozens of pewter
pots ; over the high mantelpiece were a picture of the Virgin Mary and
escutcheons of arms. There were six furnished bedrooms, one of which
was over the gateway leading into the courtyard. From the quantity of
wine in his cellar it looks as if he had given up bookselling and started
a wine shop.
Peter Bright's will and the inventory give no indication of his business.
He certainly was a stationer, living in St. Sepulchre's parish in 1527, when
the lease of a garden there was granted him by St. John's College. In
1515-16 is an entry in the Grace Book B 2 (p. 44), "Recepta .... pro
appellacione Johannis lentun contra petrum bryght xij d ." See Gray's
Stationers, pp. 64-5.
NICHOLAS PILGRIM.
Stationer and Binder. Lived in Great St. Mary's parish. With Garret Godfrey,
c. 1525 1539 ; alone 1 539- 1545.
ADMINISTRATORS : i6th March, 1545, the administration of all and singular
the goods debts and rights whatsoever of Nycholas Pylgrym lately deceased
was granted to Wm. Spyrynck, 1 John Gybkyn, and John Mere.
(I.) Son of Nicholas Spierinck, whose will is given, 1545.

[end of inventory.]
[at Peterborough^
At the back of the end of last sheet is " Nycholas pylgrym " and
no date.
Nicholas Pilgrim appears with Garrett Godfrey on the Subsidy Roll of
1523-24 as "Nicholas ducheman in wages xx s . . . xij d ," and on the death
of Godfrey succeeded him in the business, being left his three presses with
a cutting knife, his fox furred gown, as well as an annuity of 40$. for three
years. He was appointed one of the three University Stationers, in the
place of Godfrey, "pro termino suse vitae," i6th October, 1539. After
his death Peter Sheres 1 was appointed in his place 5th February, 154*0%
and may have succeeded him in the business.
It is curious that no relations are mentioned in the order of administra-
tion, yet there is a will of Margaret Pylgrym, of the parish of Great
St. Mary, widow, dated 28th January, and proved 25th February, 1547
(printed after this note). We do not know if Nicholas Pilgrim was related
to Garret Pilgrim, bookseller and bookbinder of Oxford, who died 1536-7,
although both were dutchmen. Garret Pilgrim's widow was named
Margaret. This raises the question, was the Margaret Pilgrim, widow,
who died in Cambridge, January or February, 1547 (see p. 30), the widow
of Garret Pilgrim of Oxford, and came to Cambridge on the death of
Nicholas, a relative?
(i) See Gray's Stationers, p. 68, also the will of his son, or brother, John, 1581.
30 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Pilgrim's goods were valued at about ^"34. The books, 7 1 7 in number
(216 bound, 501 unbound), were valued at 26 us. 6d. (bound
;i8 155. 9</., unbound 7 15^. 9^.); paper 6s. 8*/. ; instruments and
tools 2 8s. 4^. ; household goods ,3 131. io</. ; apparel 19^. io*/.
Marks on the margin of the inventory show that 160 of the books were
sold to various persons : f (10) ha (i) h (5) p (i) purchased bound books
only, f (95) s (29) ff (24) purchased books both bound and unbound.
It would have been interesting to know to whom these initials belonged,
but it can be safely conjectured that the three who purchased bound and
unbound books must have been stationers and binders, and that we have
here Nicholas 1 or his son William Spierinck, John Sheres, 2 and possibly
John South or Sowght, 3 the four other purchasers being private persons.
No specimen of Pilgrim's binding has yet been identified ; probably the
bindings were plain, although a "roll to print withall x d " is mentioned.
It would have been interesting to know what this one roll was, as apparently
Godfrey's rolls were not in Pilgrim's possession.

32 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Nicholas Spierinck with Garrett Godfrey and Segar Nicholson were the
three first official "stacioners" appointed by the University in 1534. His
bindings are well known. There is little to add to the account printed in
Gray's Stationers, pp. 43-53. But we have an earlier reference to him as a
binder amongst the expenses of the Proctor of the University, 1515-16
(Grace Book B 2 . p. 47) : " Nycholao stacionario pro ligatura libri iniuste
abstracti a bibliotheca tantum restitutus universitati. ij s viij d ." The first
reference to him in Cambridge is in the year 1505-6. If he had been in
the town in 1503 he would have appeared along with Godfrey and
Breynans in the list of privileged persons of that year. As there is no
mention of shop or goods in his will, it is evident that they had been
passed over to his son William, who with Gybkin and Mere administered
the goods, etc., of Nicholas Pilgrim in 1545. William Spierinck is known
as a stationer, living in Great St. Mary's parish, and being churchwarden
at the time of his father's death. He married Elizabeth Cheke, sister of
Sir John Cheke.
It would have been interesting if we could discover to whom had
descended the rolls used on his bindings, especially one previously used
by John Siberch.
JOHN SCARLETT (or SKARLETT).
Stationer. ((. 1550-1551.) Lived in the little house at the West end of
Great St. Mary's Church.
Dated i4th July, 1551. Proved ist August, 1551.

John Scarlett came from Leominster to the little house at the west end
of Great St. Mary's church in 1550, and died the following year. His
brother Philip died (see the administration) 1 582, a William Scarlett, probably
a son of Philip, died (see his will) 1617. Several Scarletts appear as book-
sellers, including Philip and Peter, whose names appear on works dated
1634 and 1640 respectively.
JOHN SOWGHT (or SOUTH).
Stationer and binder. (c. 1550-1 1553.) Lived in Great St. Mary's parish.
22nd March, 1553.
ADMINISTRATION : To Katherine, widow of John Southe statyoner who
entered into a bond with Edward Ball scrivener, and William Waters
tailor, of So 11 , to pay his debts and to pay to her daughters, Mary,
Elizabeth, and Alice, i5 u each on their marriage.
1559. This bond was delivered to "Jo Baxter, 3 bedell," who had married
Katherine, and a new bond was entered into by him.

John Denys, Frenchman, stationer and bookbinder, who died of the
plague, as well as his children and servants, is unknown to us. A " John
Denys from the dominion of the King of Spain " (4 Feb., 1562), appears in
the Denimtions and Naturalizations of Aliens in England, edited by
W. Page. Others .of the same name appear, but none connected with
the book trade. He was not in Cambridge in 1556, when a commission
for inquiring as to heresies, heretical books, etc., was held 27th November
to 3oth January, 1556, and the "four stacioners" Richard Noke, Peter
Sheres, Watson, and Baxter are mentioned. Most probably he had been
in the town some few years before his death, and it seems probable that
he may have been the binder of the book of verses made at the visit of
Queen Elizabeth to the University in 1564, and presented to Her Majesty.
(6.) Richard Bird ; see Cooper's Athenae Cantabrigiemis II, 521 ; III, 72.
(7.) Is this the John Tracy, proctor for the widow, mentioned in the heading of this
"accompte."
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 61
It was " bound in parchment coverynge, gylt with flouris of gold at the
four corners, knit with green ribband string." (Cooper's Annals, II, 198.)
The list of books is of interest for comparison with that of Nicholas
Pilgrim. The particulars of his binding instruments give information
which may help towards the identification of his bindings. It is seen that
by the end of the year 1578 the widow had married again.

John Sheres probably succeeded to the business of his father, Peter
Sheres, who died August, 1569, and first appears in Great St. Mary's parish
as an Elector 1571, afterwards being appointed Churchwarden. With
Bradshaw he valued the books in the inventory of John Denys, 1578.
(I) See his will, 1588.

A James Shares, bookbinder in London, came to London from Antwerp
to his brother about 1535. He lived in St. Paul's Churchyard until 1571.
(Duff's Century of English Book Trade ; E. J. Worman's Alien Members
of the Book-trade.
Arber's Stationers* Registers (II, 476) gives this entry: "On i Feb.
1574 the Corporation of London permitted James Sheres straunger and
stacioner to be given work within the city by Thomas Chapman, the
'late restraynt' notwithstanding, provided that freemen have sufficient of
the same." Here is a James Sheres, stationer, being given work in 1574
by Thomas Chapman, draper, in London, and in 1581 we have John
Sheres, a Cambridge stationer, leaving his best ring to his "brother"
William Chapman. Sheres mentions his sister Elizabeth as married and
living in London, and presumably she was the wife of Thomas or William
Chapman. The coincidence of the Sheres and Chapmans coming together
in this way tends towards the conclusion that some relationship existed
between the Sheres of London and Cambridge.
PHILIP SCARLET.
Stationer and Binder. (c. 1563-4 1582.) Lived in Great St. Mary's parish.
5th October, 1582. Letters of Administration granted to his widow
Elizabeth. She exhibited an inventory of goods worth ^3 185-. 5^., and
was bound with Peter Scarlet and John Matthew in a sum of ^"10 to pay
debts of deceased. But the administrators' account showed a deficit of
sT 1 3 S - 4^- [Neither inventory nor account now extant.]

Philip Scarlett, brother of John Scarlett who died 1551, and is men-
tioned in his will (p. 32). He was a Churchwarden of Great St. Mary's
1568-9 and 1569-70. Peter Scarlett is first mentioned in the Church-
wardens* accounts for 1583. A Peter Scarlett's name appears on the title-
page of Ramus, Dialectica, 1640. Another Philip Scarlett was living
c. 1605-1635, and his name appears on the title-page of Russell's Fammis
pitcht battles of Lypsich and Lutzen, 1634, being the brother Philip men-

St. Mary's in 1612 he was, along with his brother Churchwarden, James
Robson, committed by the Vice -Chancellor to the custody of the Town
gaoler because they would not suffer the church bell to be rung on the
preceding Easter Tuesday for Mr. Waterhouse of Trinity College. They
were, however, released the same day on the interference of their fellow
parishioners. [Cooper's Annals, IV. 4.]

72 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Thomas Thomas was on the 3rd May, 1583 (not 1584 as has been
stated), appointed University Printer. No printing had been done in
Cambridge since the mysterious disappearance of John Siberch in 1523,
and although three stationers, or printers, had been allowed to be ap-
pointed to the University by Letters patent in 1534, no printing was done.
During his lifetime Thomas gave books to the library of King's College
(G. Chawner's Incunabula, No. 156), including a XHIth century MS.
Psalterium (M. R. James's MSS. in the Library, No. 35). His history is
fully given in R. Bowes's University Printers, p. 292. Previous to his
appointment he witnessed and was appointed one of the overseers of John
Sheres' will (1581), wherein is mentioned Marie Francke. Thomas gives
"405. to his wife's sister Widow Francke," presumably the same person.
As University Printer he was succeeded by John Legate, appointed
2nd November, 1588, but we have not his will. Legate was succeeded
by Cantrell Legge, whose will is given 1625.
The " Mr. Browne of London," in whose hands were books and debts
belonging to Thomas, is not identified, unless he is the "Thomas Browne
of St. Anthonies," London, Schoolmaster, mentioned in the will.
The stock of books is interesting as showing that he had copies of all
works printed by himself, except J. Carmichael, Grammatica Latina, 1587,
and includes two at present unknown.

Little is known of Bennet Walker, but by the mention of " M r Bishop "
in the will it is presumed that he is the " Benat Walker, son of John Walker,
late of London, deceased," who was apprenticed to George Bishop, citizen
and stationer of London, for twelve years from 25th March, 1566 (Arber I,
290). There is no entry of his being made free of the Stationers' Company.
The reference to the boy Sampson is not clear. Perhaps he belonged
to the Sampsons of Fen Stanton mentioned in the will. No Sampson was
apprenticed to George Bishop, but a John Sampson, son of Thomas
76 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Sampson, labourer, was apprenticed to John Williams for eleven years
from 29th September, 1576, and, on the death of Williams, transferred to
William Lobley, 8th April, 1584 (Arber II, 69, 123). A John Sampson
was a stationer at Cambridge in 1610, when he was paid "for bookes to
write actes ordres & customes into xxvj s " (Cooper's Annals III, 42).
The entry of "Boothe timber" shows that he had a stall or shop in
the celebrated Sturbridge fair.

Exhibited by Michael Porter son.
John Porter, son of Thomas Porter of Haslingfield, was apprenticed
to John Cuthbert, citizen and stationer of London [and at Cambridge
c. 1568-1597], 25th December, 1568, for eight years. On 2oth November,
(i.) Living in one of the little houses at West entrance of Great St. Mary's Church,
the other occupied by Leonard Greene.
78 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
1581, Samuel Beck, son of Christopher Beck, late citizen and draper of
London, deceased, was apprenticed to Porter for eight years. From 1587
to 1606 thirteen works are entered in the Stationers' Registers to him, and
in connection with Richard Watkins, T. Gubbyn, R. Bourne, T. Man,
Ralph Jackson, S. Machan, Matthew Cooke, and Leonard Greene. Other
works with his name are known one in connection with John Legate.
He lived in St. Mary's Passage, opposite the South door of Great
St. Mary's Church, certainly from 1589, and held various offices connected
with the parish, being Churchwarden 1596-7 and 1597-8. His name
appears in a list of privileged persons, c. 1592-4, and in 1593 he joined
with John Legate, the University printer, in prosecuting John Tidder for
selling books in the Cambridge Market. In 1599 he was paid "xv s vj d for
a partchement book for chrisnengs and buryalls & marriages" for Great
St. Mary's parish.
From this will we learn that Leonard Greene married Porter's daughter,
and that before his death Porter had passed his business over to Leonard
Greene, who was to pay him ^30 a year for a period of seven years " for
the use of the stock of books." It seems in addition to this Greene was to
pay ^400 to Porter's four children, and failing to do this the books were
to be sold when Greene's agreement expired, and the proceeds divided
amongst the said children.
Leonard Greene was admitted a Freeman of the Stationers' Company
1 4th April, 1606, and shortly afterwards, i3th May, was entered in the
Register, Hall's Meditations, divine and moral, for J. Porter and L. Greene.
In 1607 Walsall's Sermon was printed for Porter and Greene, so probably
Greene's admittance as Freeman of the Stationers' Company coincided with
his connection with Porter's business.
The son Edmund is no doubt the Edmund Porter who was made free
of the Stationers' Company loth February, i6ij, and lived in Cambridge.
He appears as a stationer in the list of privileged persons, 1624, and also
as paying the church rate in Great St. Mary's parish from 1616.
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 79
The John Porter junior, bookseller, 1634-6, in the Dictionary of
Printers, Booksellers, etc., 1537-1640, is more likely to be the son of
Edmund than of John Porter, senior, as there suggested.
THOMAS BRADSHAW.
Stationer, (c. 15781610.) Lived at the West end of Great St. Mary's Church,
later in St. Sepulchre's parish.

Thomas Bradshaw was apprenticed to Humphry Toye, 28th March,
1562, for eight years, and was made free of the Stationers' Company
8o WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
6th July, 1570. An apprentice, Andrew Wythes, was transferred to him
and newly bound loth April, 1581, and another, William Knowley, was
transferred to him from T. Chase in 1583. In 1589 the Stationers'
Company received of him, 26th May, "that which was due for a prentise
that should have been putt over, 2$. 6d. And for a fine for that the
apprentise served with Master Chard contrary to order ij s vj d ." On the
1 8th April, 1584, he was granted a lease of a piece of ground at the west
end of Great St. Mary's Church "that he shall builde a handsome shop."
.... "and that the said Thomas Bradshawe shall neither sell shewe or
binde any books in the said shop during the lease " one shop already
existed, occupied by Cuthbert the stationer, may be the reason for this
stipulation. This lease was cancelled and a new one under altered con-
ditions granted, the existing shop was pulled down and two shops erected,
one on each side of the west entrance, affixed to the church walls (see
Gray's Shops at West End of Great St. Mary's Church}. This lease was
granted by Trinity College, and as Bradshaw had inserted the framework
in the church wall, stopping the light of the two windows, he agreed that
he and his successors would pay 55-. yearly to the parish. This he paid
for 1587 and 1588, when he was succeeded by John Legate, who procured
a new lease, 6th October, 1589.
Bradshaw had previously been living in the parish, for he was an over-.
seer of the highways in 1581. Later, in 1593, when he had evidently left
the parish, he gave 20*. towards the repairing or building of the steeple,
28th April, 1593. His name appears in a list of privileged persons
c. 1592-4, and also for 1600 and 1601 in the Lay Subsidies.
Previously, in 1578, we find him valuing the books of John Denys
(see p. 36).
His son Robert was admitted a freeman of the Stationers' Company,
per patrimonium, nth August, 1599, and may be the Robert Bradshaw
apprenticed to Richard Watkins, citizen and stationer of London, for seven
years from igth January, 1596. Nothing further is known, and presumably
he died before his father made his will in 1610.

For other Scarletts, stationers, see John Scarlett, 1557, and Philip
Scarlett, 1582 : and the Philip Scarlett mentioned in the note to the last-
mentioned is no doubt the "brother Phillipp" (who had six children)
to help the son William in his business.
William Scarlett was with John Sheres, the Cambridge stationer, who
left him 2 in his will of 1581. He was in business c. 1592-1594, as his
82 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
name is in a list of privileged persons of that date ; and a few years after-
wards went to Edinburgh and arranged with Robert Waldegrave to print
the edition of Sidney's A rcadia which was published in 1599 (H. R. Plomer,
in the Library, 1900, pp. 195-205). He was then living in Great St. Mary's
parish, in the house now No. i, Trinity Street, occupied by Bowes & Bowes,
between whom and William Scarlett a succession of booksellers have had
their business there. Scarlett and John Crane occupied the house and paid
the church rate jointly from i6o|. After Scarlett's death Crane paid it for
1619, and then Henry Moody, the stationer and binder (see 1637). In
1606 the parish paid Scarlett "viij s for a service book," and he was Church-
warden 1610-11. On the 27th March, 1609, St. John's College leased to
him the "Burbolte in S* Andrews parish for 40 years at a rent of 53^. 4^."
This old inn was destroyed only a few years ago. Dr. John Cowell in
his will, proved 25th October, 1611, left William Scarlett 405-: several
Scarletts are also mentioned, and the appointed executors are Peter
Scarlett (apothecary) and his son-in-law John Crane.

Cantrell Legge, who succeeded John Legate as University Printer, was
a son of Edward Legge of Burcham, Norfolk, and was apprenticed to
Legate 24th June, 1589, for eight years, was made free of the Stationers'
Company nth December, 1599, and appointed University Printer
5th June, 1606. Books are entered to him in the Stationers' Registers,
mostly in connection with other booksellers, one being Leonard Greene
of Cambridge. In 1620 Legge had to contend with the Stationers'
Company, and- he petitioned the Lords in Council on a prosecution by
the Company for printing Lilly's Grammar^ and in the two following
years journeys were undertaken by him and University representatives to
London, and to the King at Royston and Newmarket, concerning the
matter, of which an echo remains in the widow's account. On the
29th November, 1623, the Privy Council made an order that the University
printers should not print Grammars, Psalms, Psalters, Primers, or books
of Common Law; that they should have but one press, and print no
almanacks but such whereof the first copy should be brought to them.
And by another order, loth December, Books of Common Prayer were
forbidden to be printed by the University. Yet in 1625 he had in his
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 87
possession 130 reams of Psalms, valued ^24, 4,000 Grammars, ,56,
300 Accidences, ;i8, 500 Lillie's Rules, $ 105-. [See also the Intro-
duction to this work.]
Thomas and Legate printed in the Regent Walk, but Legge occupied
a house on the Market Hill and most probably printed there. This house
was next the Rose Inn, occupied by John Woolfe and his son Philip on one
side, and a house occupied by Materius Peapes on the other, which would
be quite close to what is now called Rose Crescent. To both of these
neighbours he owed money. No contents of the shop is given. What
had become of his books? It looks as if they had been disposed of
before his death, possibly to Leonard Greene. The contents of the
printing room is given, and it seems quite likely that his press and material
were purchased by Thomas Buck, his successor as University Printer, who
transferred them to a room in the Angel Inn, a few doors away on the
other side of the Rose Inn.
Legge's widow continued for some time to occupy the same house, and
on ist June, 1629, transferred to James Boler her interest in sixteen books
of her late husband.
HENRY WRAY.
(c. 1607 1628.) Lived in Great St. Mary's parish.
Dated nth June, 1628. Proved i3th November, 1628.

Henry Wray lived in Great St. Mary's parish, opposite the church,
paying the church rate from 1607-8 to 1626-7. He appears in a list of
privileged persons dated 1624, as also does Richard Ireland, his son-in-law,
who lived in the same house along with Wray. Though Wray calls
himself " stationer," no mention of books is in his will. His daughter, who
had married Ireland, was dead, and that may be the reason why Ireland's
two children are to be brought up by Wray's widow, for Ireland married
a second time, after the death of his father-in-law (see 1654). To his two
grandchildren, John and Elizabeth Ireland, he bequeathed property, with
a proviso that in case of their death unmarried under twenty-one, or
without issue, certain houses in Walls' Lane and Trinity parish should
remain and be for an Hospital to help to maintain poor widowers and
widows, of equal number and equal portions ; that his freeholds and
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 89
copyholds should be for the maintenance of the Hospital ; that a leasehold
estate of Bene't College should be sold, and that with the produce and
other his personal estate lands should be bought for the maintenance of the
Hospital. In 1635, the grandchildren being dead, certain Commissioners
of Charitable Uses established the Hospital for four widowers and four
widows, inhabitants of Trinity parish (Cooper's Annals III, 202) which,
after being rebuilt, exists at the present day in King Street.

90 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
Leonard Greene was admitted freeman of the Stationers' Company
1 4th April, 1606. Shortly afterwards he married a daughter of John
Porter, the Cambridge stationer, and had a son John when his father-in-
law died (see 1608). At that time he had Porter's business and was
paying him ^30 a year for a period of seven years. This could not have
been for the stock, as he had also to pay ^400 to Porter's children after
their father's death, or, failing to do so, the stock was to be sold when
Greene's seven years' agreement was ended. Apparently Greene con-
tinued the business and lived in the same house (opposite the South door
of Great St. Mary's church), yet from 1612 to 1617 he paid the church
rate for one of the two shops attached to the West end of the church
the South shop as shown in a view of the church in Loggan's Cantabrigia
Depicta the other shop on the North side being occupied for the same
period of time by William Williams, a bookbinder. This was before
his appointment as one of the University Printers, which was made
3ist October, 1625, when he was paying the church rate for the house
Porter formerly occupied, leased from Bene't College, the lease being
valued at ^100 in the inventories of both Porter and Greene.
During 1622 to 1625 Cantrell Legge was the University Printer (see
1625), and on i6th December after Legge's death a new patent was sealed
appointing Greene, in conjunction with Thomas and James Buck, as
University Printers. The output of the University Press during 1622
to 1625 was very small indeed, and bore the name of Cantrell Legge as
Printer. Only one work is known bearing Greene's name along with T. and
J. Buck : Paolo Sarpi, Interdicti Veneti historic 1626. It was in 1622 that
an order was made that any member of the University should, before printing
a composition of his own, first offer the same to the Press, and that all
members taking a degree should first promise that, should they become
schoolmasters, they would not allow any other books for use in their schools
than those printed in the University, so long as such could be obtained at
a moderate and fair price. [See Introduction.] Greene had no printing
press, and when Buck commenced printing, it is known from Greene's
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 91
complaint, that he had taken a new printing-office in his own name, the
Angel, without consulting him. It is most probable that Buck had pur-
chased Cantrell Legge's printing press and materials.
Greene entered several books in the Registers of the Stationers'
Company, but mostly before his appointment as one of the University
Printers in 1622. Only four occur afterwards, in 1628, 1629, and 1630.
His first entry of I3th May, 1606, was in connection with John Porter,
others with Cantrell Legge, and several London booksellers. He was
churchwarden of Great St. Mary's 1613-14, and held various offices in
connection with the work of the parish. In St. John's College Library
is a book presented by him " anwris arrha collegio D U J Johannis."
(C. E. Sayle's Bibliotheca Loquitur^ p. 15). His widow continued for a
time after her husband's death to occupy the same house.
ROBERT SANDERS.
"Stationarius." (c. 1620-11633.) Lived in Great St. Mary's parish.
Dated 3ist May, 1633.

Geo Sandeford [ University Inventories, Bundle 5.]
All known of Robert Sanders is that he lived in Great St. Mary's parish
from 1620-21 until his death, paying the church rate, his wife continuing
after his death. His name is not in the list of privileged persons of 1624.
HENRY MOODY.
Stationer and Binder. (c. 1575-1637.) Lived later at what is now
No. i, Trinity Street, 1620-1637.
Dated i6th June, 1637. Proved i3th July, 1637.

Henry Moody was a binder as well as a stationer, for he had "29 dozen
& 1 1 skins of calves skins ^15, one great press, and other tooles 2" He
first appears in the 1620-1 church rate list of Great St. Mary's parish,
occupying what had been John Crane's house, previously occupied by
William Scarlett the stationer (see his will, 1617). He was twice church-
warden and held other offices connected with the parish. He was witness
to the notice of discommoning four chandlers posted on the door of the
church, 20th-23rd July, 1629. (Cooper's Annals III, 215.) A "Good-
man Moody" mentioned in 1612 and 1616 may be the same person, as
also the Henry Moody christened at St. Michael's church ist May, 1575.
Thomas Moody, probably the " Thomas Moody stacioner my kinsman "
(see 1661), mentioned in the will, also paid the church rate from 1627-8.
The inventory of the goods of his widow Helen, 23rd May, 1648,
contains nothing concerning the business.

Richard Ireland married a daughter of Henry Wray the Cambridge
stationer, who died before Wray's will was made in 1628, wherein Ireland's
children were left to the care of their grandmother and not to that of their
father. Ireland married again Qth December, 1628, at St. Edward's
church, Frances Londringe, who with two daughters survived him. He
is in the 1624 list of privileged persons, and living in the parish of Great
St. Mary's, paid the church rate from 1624-5, being churchwarden 1635-6,
during which time, in March, 1636, he with six other parishioners signed a
petition to the Judge of Assize for the County on the unequal rating of the
town, by which their parish was overcharged. (Cooper's Annals III, 274.)
He had Wray's business opposite to Great St. Mary's church. His
name appears on two editions of Thomas Randolph's Jealous Lovers, 1634
(i.) See his will, 1675. (2.) See his will, 1670.
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 97
and 1640. He gave a book to St. John's College Library (S. 8. 39),
with inscription : " Ex dono M ri Ireland Bibliopolae amoris ergo Coll
Johannensi." (C. E. Sayle, Bibliotheca Loquitur , p. 18.)
The account of the administratrix, attached to the inventory, throws
light upon Ireland's transactions with London publishers. The large
amount paid to Richard Royston seems to suggest that he acted as
Royston's agent at Cambridge, especially as Royston is supposed to have
had a shop at Oxford. Notices of Royston, Cornelius Bee, Octavian
Pullan, Andrew and John Crooke are given in Plomer's Booksellers and
Printers^ as well as the following, except Henry Sutch, whose name is
new. To the notices of Samuel Thompson and Lodovick Lloyd can be

seller of that name who died 29th December, 1653. In reference to John
Crooke it may be mentioned that a son, Bankes Crooke, after being
educated at Eton, was admitted sizar at St. John's College, Cambridge,
1 3th May, 1674, aged sixteen. Troylus Atkinson and John Mileson are
two contemporary Cambridge stationers, near neighbours. The will of
Troylus Atkinson is given under date 1675.

imprint: "Cambridge: Printed by Roger Daniel, Printer to the University,

1627, but was apparently living in Jesus Lane when he made his will in
1663. Robert Leete senior, of Trinity Parish, is amongst the Town
subscribers to the "Free and Voluntary gifte to his Majesty," 1661,
subscribing 55-., as also a Robert Leete of St. Andrew's parish for 2S. 6d.
He is not known as a printer, and it seems most likely that he was
connected with the University Printing Press of his time. The will shows
that he owned "three boothes" in the great Sturbridge fair. His wife
Elizabeth died in 1669, but her will contains nothing concerning any
business.

Pindar was one of the appraisers of Richard Ireland's goods, 1654. A
Jonathan Pindar paid church rate in Great St. Mary's parish from 1620-1,

Thomas Williams married Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Nicholson,
stationer (see his will 1667), and was living at the "Six Bells" in St.
Edward's parish in 1663, when he witnessed his father-in-law's will. He
was probably a relative of William Williams, bookbinder, who lived in one
of the two shops attached to the West end of Great St. Mary's church,
1612-17, and mentioned as a privileged person 1624, whilst Leonard
Greene occupied the other one. A William Williams, stationer, also living
in Great St. Mary's parish, died 1716. By his will, dated 5th August,
1713, he left all his goods and estates to his wife Cecilia, and after her
death to his son Thomas.

Like Robert Leete, printer, whose will John Foakes witnessed in 1663,
it is most probable that Foakes was also connected with the University
Printer's press. He lived in Gt. St. Mary's parish at the latter end of his
life, as he speaks of having lately bought and purchased the house in
Great St. Mary's parish in which he was dwelling when he made his will.
He appears amongst the Town subscribers to the Free and Voluntary Gift
to His Majesty, 1661, as giving ten shillings, and is described as of Trinity
parish. A "John Foaks bookseller" appears on the list of the Hearth
Tax of 1666 as having five hearths.

Probably the Anthony Nicholson christened 6th August, 1601, in
St. Michael's church, and who paid church rate in Great St. Mary's parish
from 1624-5. He evidently retired from business some time before his

death. His name appears on N. Culverwell's Spiritual Opticks, printed by
Thomas Buck, "and are to be sold by Anthony Nicholson," 1651 ; and
on Marci Antonini Imperatoris de rebus suis libri XII, studio T. Gatakeri,
1652, also printed by Buck. His son Robert may have succeeded him.
He is mentioned as having given a bond of ^100 to his father, and his
having the business may explain why his father only left him \zd. in his
will. Robert Nicholson published a Latin edition of the Book of
Ecclesiastes, 1662, and Alderman Samuel Newton in his Diary enters
under 1687, "n Sept. Sunday. Sarah Nicholson daughter of Robert
Nicholson of Cambridge stationer marryed at Trinity College Chappell
by D r Wolfran Stubb unto Robert Dawney of the Citty of Norwich
worsted weaver son of Anne Keeling of Norwich widdow." With others
he drew up the inventory of the goods of John Field, University Printer,
25th February, 1668; John Johnson, 1679; Robert Gee, 1681 William
Graves, 1686, and E. Beeching, 1689. Another son, Anthony, a book-
binder, died February, 1680, and the inventory of his goods is given
under that date.

John Field was appointed University Printer i2th October, 1655,
and immediately built a new printing orifice in Silver Street, on ground
leased from Queens' College, now occupied by the Master's Lodge of
St. Catharine's College, where it remained until the beginning of the
XlXth century, when the present buildings were commenced on the other
side of Silver Street.
(i.) Son of Anthony Nicholson, died 1667.
(2.) Probably Robert Browne, bookbinder, whose will is printed under 1681.
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 109
Field took up his freedom in the Stationers' Company 4th Febru-
ary* l6 35> commencing business in London, and was appointed with
Edward Husbands as Printer to the Parliament 25th January, 1649.
He continued his London press at least for a time after his appoint-
ment at Cambridge. He printed many editions of the Bible, some
of which are noted for the number and variety of misprints, which
called forth some pamphlets on the subject, and also on their exces-
sive price.
According to the Hearth Tax of 1666 he had seven hearths, " 3 added
by new building since Lady day 1661."
He died soon after i5th August, 1668, when he dated his will, for on
the i yth of that month Charles II wrote to the Vice-Chancellor "desiring
that a printer be not yet appointed in succession to the late John Field,
whose estate is considerably engaged in the service of the press." The
new University Printer was not appointed until i4th October, 1669, when
John Hayes was appointed under new conditions, being leased the printing
on payment of ^100 a year.
For a view of the University Press as it was on 28th June, 1689, we are
indebted to the Diary of an American Judge, Samuel Sewell, wherein he
writes : " By it [Katherine Hall], the Printing Room, which is about 60 feet
long and 20 feet broad. Six Presses. Had my cousin Hull and my name
printed there. Paper windows, and a pleasant Garden along one side
between Katherine Hall and that. Had there a Print of the Combina-
tions." (Walford's Antiquarian, VIII, p. 133.)
Of the people mentioned in his will, George Sawbridge, stationer, and
James Flesher or Fletcher, printer, are well known. The entries of
Edmund Paxton and James Crump, stationers, give us a much later date
of their existence than at present recorded. All these persons lived in
London.

Proved in the P.C. of Gilbert Archbishop of Canterbury by Thomas Buck,
4th May, 1670, and proved before Jacob Duport S.T.P., by Thomas
Buck 6th June, 1670.
Thomas Buck, the eldest son of Thomas Buck of Oakley, Essex,
entered Jesus College in 1609; B.A. 1612-13, and after being made
Fellow of St. Catharine's College, proceeded M.A. in 1616. He was
appointed University Printer i3th July, 1625, on the death of Cantrell
Legge. After his appointment he took into partnership his brother John
and Leonard Greene, their appointment being dated i6th December, 1625.
On the death of Greene another brother, Francis Buck, was appointed
in his place 27th October, 1630, and on his resignation, 2ist July, 1632,
Roger Daniel was appointed 24th July, 1632, and continued in partnership
until ist June, 1650, when his patent was cancelled. Buck most probably
purchased the press and materials of Cantrell Legge, his predecessor.
He removed the printing works to the "Angel," next the Rose Inn on
the Market Hill. Later on he transferred the works to the "Augustine
Friars," for on 24th July, 1632, in the article of agreement between Buck
(i.) In partnership with his brother i6th December, 1625. Died 22nd October, 1680,
aged 83.

tenement called the Augustine Fryars wherein the said Thomas Buck now
dwelleth together with the printyng house and all other houses yard
orchards closes wayes & all other easements & commodities thereunto
belonging" for six years, at the rate of ^190 a year paid quarterly. Only
one printing office was allowed to be in Cambridge, and Roger Daniel in
a complaint against Buck, i4th March, 1634, represented to the University
the advantage that would arise from the establishment of more than one
printing house. He subscribed 2 los. towards the Scotch Loan,
i6th April, 1645. In the "Hearth Tax" of 1666 Thomas Buck is owner
of a house in which are seventeen hearths, two added by new building.
Buck is said to have resigned about 1653 ; at all events John Field (see
1668) was appointed his successor i2th October, 1655. He was also
Esquire Bedell from 1624 until his death, which occurred at the Augustine
Friars 4th March, 1669-70, He was buried in the north chancel of
St. Edward's church yth March following.
During his term of office the output of the University Press increased
year by year, and many important works were there printed. Special
mention may be made of the editions of the Bible, which first appeared
with the Cambridge imprint during his time, George Herbert's The Temple,
works by Phineas and Giles Fletcher, Joseph Mede, Thomas Heywood,
Thomas Randolph, Thomas Fuller, and others, also Obsequies to the memorie
of Mr. Edward King, 1638, which contained John Milton's Lycidas.
Many copies exist of the Bibles and George Herbert's Temple, bound
in morocco, with beautiful designs worked in gilt on the sides and backs,
the work of some Cambridge binder, attributed to one in connection
with Buck's establishment. From the Memoirs of Nicholas Ferrar it
is known that a bookbinder's daughter from Cambridge taught book-
binding to the family at Little Gidding, and there is a great similarity
between the ornaments used there and those used on Cambridge books
of this period.
PRINTERS, BINDERS, AND STATIONERS OF CAMBRIDGE. 113
Thomas Buck was one of the executors of Henry Lucas for the
establishment of the Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics in the
University. Dr. Isaac Barrow was appointed the first Professor in 1664,
and was succeeded by Sir Isaac Newton in 1669. In Dr. Barrow's
Prefatory Oration, delivered i4th May, 1664, he gives an eulogy of
Thomas Buck, which is printed in his Mathematicae Lectiones, 1683, of
which a translation by J. Kirby was published in 1734. As this is lost to
bibliographers in such a work, an extract is here printed :
" THOMAS BUCK is perfectly known to every one of you from the honourable Place
which he has sustained among you for so many Years, being sufficiently recommended by
his Virtues, and highly to be reverenced for his excellent Merits towards you : The very
same whose august Appearance and Venerable Dignity of Countenance is daily seen with
your Eyes, whose most courteous Civility you always perceive, and whose active, trusty,
and fortunate Endeavours in manageing your most important Affairs, vindicating your
Honour and promoting your Interest, you have so often experienced. A Man endowed
in no mean Degree in all Parts of Good Literature, who yields the Preheminence to none
in Prudence and Faithfulness (Things approved and demonstrated in him, after a most
remarkable Manner) and leaves most, I had almost said all, Mortals a long Space behind
him in a laudable Industry. It would be difficult, nay altogether impossible for me to
express what Labours he has undergone, what Troubles he has endured, how much Pains
he has taken for your Sakes, or that my Diligence in saying should come up to his
Diligence in doing. I was a Witness, I say a Witness as far as Admiration permitted,
how much he provided for your Honour, how serviceable he was to your Interest, while
he pushed forward your Business of Printing at the Expence of his own Health and
Substance, the Praise of which will endure to the most distant Posterity imprinted on
shining Characters, and consecrated to Eternity with the sacred Writings themselves,
whose Value and Excellence he has in some sort advanced. But while I am speaking of
this, I cannot observe without great Astonishment, a Man grown up in Years, and in a
bad State of Health, to have been able if he was willing, or willing if he was able, to use
such Vigilance over the Affairs of others, as perhaps none else, even in the Prime of his
Strength and Vigour, would have used over his own. So great an Ardour inflamed him
of meriting well of you, such a Desire of finishing the Great Work he had begun, that
the Strength of his Body & Vigour of his Mind, seemed to encrease with his Years and
the nearer he approached to the End of his Life the more vigorously he seemed to be
carried. But why do I commemorate his Diligence in this Performance, rather than
mention the unwearied Study wherewith he undertook it, and his great Benevolence
shewn towards you ? For indeed you owe the first Fruits of this huge Benefit, in Part to
him : our great Benefactor being excited by his Admonition, persuaded by his Advice,
and drawn by his Exhortation, both to institute this Mathematical Profession, and to
endow and adorn your Library with a most choice Treasure of Books. For is not he to
114 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
be accounted the Author of a Benefit who hath gained and as it were given you the
Benefactor himself, who hath as well profited for you of another Person's Wealth, as out
of his own Wisdom, his own Good-Will ; and who hath derived upon your Grounds the
overflowing Streams of another's Munificence ? Without whom indeed it had not been,
it could not be to Day that I could congratulate you upon the access of such a Help to
your Studies, such an Ornament to the University, such an Example to the Age : Here
my Tongue falters, my Invention fails, and my Mind ceases to furnish me with Words in
any wise suitable to so vast a Benefit, the Greatness of which is easier to be conceived
than expressed. I will therefore forbear attempting so insuperable a Difficulty, only give
me leave to declare this one thing, that the last Gentleman's remarkable kindness towards
me has merited a far greater Testimony of Gratitude."

John Milleson lived over against Great St. Mary's church, near the
University Street or Regent Walk. These houses were demolished in
the eighteenth century to make way for what is now the lawn in front of
the University Library. His name appears on the title-page of A Pro-
testant 's Account of His Orthodox Holding in Matters of Religion, printed by
Roger Daniel, 1642. In the Inventory attached to Richard Ireland's will,
1684, ^5 was paid to Milleson upon bond. A John Milleson was paying

Troylus Atkinson first appears paying the Church Rate in Great St.
Mary's parish 1626. The executors of Richard Ireland (1654) paid him
^23. His will leads us to think he had a fondness for acquiring property.
The "Nag's Head" and the "Turkey Cock" are mentioned. The lease-
hold premises held of the Master and Scholars of Christ's College is no
doubt the " Brazen George," as we see from the MS. Books of Accounts
kept by Joseph Mead, B.D.,of Christ's College, 1614-33 (by Dr. John Peile,
Cambridge Antiquarian Society's Proceedings, Vol. XIII, 253): "The
sick man was removed to 'Raper's' or *G. Pindar's' college servants, I
suspect, of some sort, as 'Troylus' certainly was, though he is dignified
with the title of ' M r Atkinson ' when he receives rent for rooms in the
Brazen George, the old inn near where the Post-office now is, unstatutably
used by the College to accommodate the overflowing number of pupils
in those days." In Certain Disorders in Cambridge to be considered at my
visitation, sent to Archbishop Laud 23rd September, 1636, is: "Hard
by this House [Christ's College] there is a Town Inn (they call it the
Brazen George) wherein many of their Schollers live, lodge and study, and
yet the Statutes of ye Universitie require that none lodge out of ye
Colledge where no Governour or Tutor can looke after their Pupills as
they ought." (Cooper's Annals III, 283.)
On 20th July, 1645, ^ e contributed $ to the Scotch Loan ; and sub-
scribed $ to the Free and Voluntary Gift to his Majesty, 1661.
Atkinson died 6th June, 1675. Alderman Samuel Newton enters in his
Diary (ed. J. E. Foster, p. 74) : " Sunday about noone died M r Troylus
Atkinson, bookseller, the bell of Gt St Maryes began to ring for him
about 3 of the clock after prayers ended." Newton and Alderman Crabb
had 25$. apiece to buy mourning rings.
The son, William Atkinson, died 1694 (see his will, p. 128).
Incidentally, mention is made of Thomas Dawson, bookbinder, living
in buildings attached to the "Nag's Head." Nothing is known of him
except that his will, dated 1708, exists at Peterborough. But a Thomas
Ii8 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF

by John Hayes, 1675, "Tho. Dawson jun. Bibliopol. Cantabrigiens."

Robert Gee, bookbinder, is also mentioned. The inventory of his
goods, dated 1681, is printed in this work.

Proved in London i2th March, 167 1, at Cambridge January, 1679.
[University Wills, Vol. IV, p. 187.]
A Thomas Morden, stationer, is in the 1624 list of privileged persons,
and may be the Thomas Morden, son of John Morden of Gisborne,
co. York, "joynour deceased," apprenticed to Christopher Heckford
6th September, 1602, for seven years, and, on Heckford's death, trans-
ferred to Richard Tommes. He took up his freedom of the Stationers'
Company 3rd October, 1609.
William Morden lived in St. Michael's parish, in premises lately pur-
chased before his death, and in the will of William Wills, vintner, proved
29th July, 1667, he is mentioned as living in a tenement of his. He
certainly lived for a time in Great St. Mary's parish (1650-1). He was
one of the executors to the will of Thomas Ingrey, proved 9th January,
1661, and 2os. was left to him. As a bookseller his name appeared on
many works from 1655 to 1678, including the first and other editions of
Ray's Proverbs^ works of Henry More, and John Smith's Discourses.
He left his business to his son Charles, whose name is on the title-page
of R. Sheringham's King$ Supremacy asserted^ printed for Jonas Hart and
Charles Morden of Cambridge, 1682, and Bcaufrons, 1684. This Jonas
Hart was no doubt a relative, as Andrew Hart married a sister of William
Morden. Charles was buried 28th February, i68|, and the other son,
John, was buried 27th May, 1683. He subscribed 4 towards the Free
and Voluntary Gift to his Majesty, 1661, being the largest amount given
by a bookseller Troylus Atkinson gave $ which was the next in
amount.

Nothing is known of Edmund Beeching, or Beechinoe, except that he
married Elizabeth Tillman, 22nd February, 1655, in St. Michael's church.
He resided in that parish until his death, before which time nine of his
children were christened (one being named Hezekiah, another John
Epiphanius) and four of them buried. There is no entry of the christening
of his eldest son Edmund, but an Edward was christened 23rd Novem-
ber, 1656. Neither is there an entry concerning his second son, James.
Of Elizabeth Buck, the daughter, there is an entry of the marriage
of George Buck, of Barnsley, Yorkshire, and Elizabeth Beechinore,
128 WILLS AND TESTAMENTARY DOCUMENTS OF
nth June, 1676. No Elizabeth appears amongst the children christened.
It may be that the marriage of 1655 was a second marriage, for there is
an entry, 24th November, 1651, of the christening of "John Bechinoe
sone of Edmund Bechinoe."

the same, getting in his debts, adjusting affairs with the widow, in paying of
his creditors by distinct dividend, when & as often as competent sums
came to his hand. W m Tindale administrator.
March 15 th 17 \\. {Administrators' Accounts, Bundle 4.]
Son of William Graves, who died 1686, having then his father's business,
living in the same house. His name appears on the title-pages of several
books, certainly from 1680, and during his father's lifetime was called
William Graves jun. His will was made immediately after his father's
death. The curious bequest to the Master, Fellows, and Scholars of Clare
College, in the event of his wife not having issue, did not take place, for
he was bankrupt (as his wife says) for twelve weeks before his death, and
the administrator after selling the books and everything else, first paid a
dividend of ijs. in the pound to the debtors, and afterwards is. 2d. in
the pound more surely a satisfactory result. His brother, Gowin Graves,
was paid 2 os. 9^. for cataloguing the books for sale, and appears
among the creditors.
The administrator's account shows how the wife of a bankrupt was
treated at this time, and we find her pathetically pleading to keep a gold
watch her husband had given her, "and the only thing she had to
remember him by," against which she is willing and allowed to forego
$$ I T S - 4^- kud out upon expenses connected with her husband's last
days and death. A transaction "beneficial to the creditors to the amount
of /i 4 is. *d."
