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

PREFACE.
THE following List was originally intended as a mere Index to the
valuable documentary annals of the book-trade to be found in the
Returns of Aliens as published by the Huguenot Society. But the periods
which 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 Denization,
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 contribution, 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 large
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 Council of the Huguenot Society, and to
Mr. R. S. Faber, their Secretary, for early copies 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.

There are two of this name mentioned in the Denization Rolls one, 29 Dec., 1548,

HI, 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 Arber 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, 1562.
1567. BEAU CHESNE, JEAN DE, Farringdon Without Ward, French, no
denizen, servaunt, 2 years here. I, 364.

Paris, " confesseth himself vnder the soueraignety of King James,
and is the Princes seruant." Ill, 204.
See Hazlitt (Gray's Index) for publications of his, 1570-1602; he is mentioned in
Arber also. See Vol. v, index. He was in Blackfriars in 1597 according to
Hazlitt.
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 Crewkerne, or Crokhorne, which is mentioned in
Berthelet's will. See Plomer's Wills, etc., p. II.
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 e baylifs . . . of the cite 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. viij d. xv, and whose "stynt" was xiijs. viij d. He may
have been some relation.
1571. BIRCKMAN, AGNES, sent Andreas Fremorshem and Reynold
Mercator as factors.
See below, Fremorsham and Mercator.

before this year, as about Feb., 1556 he subscribed ij s. to the collection
for Bridewell. See Arber I, 48.

to have permission to bring them to London. Arber II, 63.

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.

BIRCKMAN NOTES.
In spite of the painstaking article on " Franz Birckmann, Buchhandler in Coin und
Antwerpen 1510-1530, und seine Familie," by Albrecht Kirchhoff in his Beitrdge zur
Geschichte des deutschen Buchhandeh ', i tes 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 Kirchhoff to be son of Franz, while he is called his
brother in the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie. 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 of Arnold and John
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 factors here. Kirchhoff, in speaking of John
(p. 122), suggests that he is sometimes called Arnold and sometimes John. It may be that
there were two Arnolds, one the brother, the other the son of Franz. The mention of
Arnold 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. See Duff's Century ',
pp. 13-15. John Birckman published from 1566 to 1573, while his widow's name appears
from 1575 to 1585. During Christopher Plantin's time (1555 to 1589) he had to do with
three Birckmans at Antwerp Arnold, Godfrey, and John. See Max Rooses' Christophe
Plantin, p. 408. In 1571 the factors seem to have given two different accounts 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, but,
having the same factors, may have been connected with Arnold.
Two additions to the list of 26 books given by Kirchhoff as published by Franz
Birckman, 1513 to 1529, may be mentioned here. One is a Biblia Sacra, printed by Petrus
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 f 4 - mark with -FR- -BIR- encircled by a border, with legend "Fortuna
cum blanditur tune vel maxime metuenda est." The second book is Fisher's De veritatc
corporis et sanguinis Christi in Eucharistia, adversus Johannem Oecolampadium, also
Quentel, Cologne, 1527, with the same marks on the last leaf: in the printer's preface he
says: " Quos quidem libros Franciscus Birckman bibliopola integerrimus de authoris ipsius
in Anglia manu nobis excudendos dedit." The sign of the " pinguis gallina " was evidently
a play upon the family name, as " Birkhuhn " is a brooding hen. It is possible that the
same sign was used by them in St. Paul's Churchyard, as Charles Utenhove in a Latin letter
to John Utenhove in London, 1562, speaks of Andreas Vrimursanus (factor to the Birckmans)
as being with the booksellers at the sign, he thought, of " pinguis gallina."
1571. BISHOP, GEORGE [BYSHOPPE], named with Cawood and Jugge as
being with Reynold Mercator, the Birckmans' factor in St. Paul's
Churchyard. (See note under MERCATOR.)

which might perhaps be the above man. Also on May 31, 1572, the Church
at Emden sent their blind brother Cornelis Claesson to the Dutch Church in
London, asking them to find him employment, and stating that he had been
in London before. See Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivum, ed. Hessels,

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. Nijhoff s
Bibliographic, Nos. 85, 673, 1190.
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.

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.

6 years with P. Cutier, but on Aug. II of that year was transferred to Lewis
Seignor upon the same conditions. See Arber II, 83. Perhaps he left England
about then.

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, qtiod examini submittet Hubertus ter Haar .... (8. Utrecht, 1858)
we learn that Dathenus seems to have entered the Carmelite monastery at Ypres
when about the age of 1 8 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 (R. of A. I, 155), appearing again as Mountayne in
Lynseys Rentes, in the same ward, in 1551 (I, 219), in both cases valued at xxs.
Dathenus' real name was probably van Bergen : he called himself Montanus
when he practised physic at Stade and other places in 1585 onwards. See

was born in Antwerp, and whose name is found in the Returns of Aliens only once,
in 1571. In the Rcclesiae Londino-Batavae 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 ' typo-

[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" (fi. 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 Vautrollier, according
to Rooses. (See his Plantin, p. 258. ) Plantin got Desserans and Vautrollier to
take up an agency for him in London in 1567 ; he promised Desserans i6 per
cent. The arrangement only lasted for about a year. Cambier also had business
with Plantin. It is possible that John de Sheron (q.v.), servant to Thomas
Hacket in 1564, may be this man.

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, ANTHONY VAN. See DEISE.
DOESBORCH, JAN VAN.
i524(?) Under Parochia Sancti Martini in Campis occurs the entry:
" De Johanne van Dwysborow, extraneo, pro xl s. per annum, ij s."
I, 7-
Is it possible that the Parson of Kalenborowe which Mr. Proctor, in his monograph
on this printer (p. 34), placed after 1520, and which he says 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, shoemaker, made
denizen 1529 (Denizations, p. 79) : "Jan Glaesmaker van Duisberch int Cleuen
in 1550 (I, 206), and John van Dovsborowe servant with Harry Garretson in
King's Hospital, 1551 (I, 232)."
1550. DRIESCH, HENDRYCK, van Antwerpen, in den Witten baer.

There is a Heynderick Dries, boeckbinder, in the Liggeren der Anttverpsche Sint
Lucasgilde under date 1535. The White Bear in Botolph Lane, Billingsgate,
was John Mayler's shop (see Duff's Century, p. 102). Possibly this may be the
house in which Driesch dwelt.

Also called Gillis vander Herue, "met zyn vrauwe Anna," among the Diaconi, on
the same page.
1551. Gillis vander Herue, met Anna. Dutch Church Reg. I, 212.
Gillis van Erven, alias Aegidius Aervius, Gellius Ctematius, and perhaps Collinus
Volckwinner, after having been in England a short time, fled from Queen Mary,
together with John a Lasco, Myerdman, and others. See Ostfriesisches Monats-
blattVl, n, 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 Ecclesiac Londino-Batavae Archivum, ed. Hessels, are many references to
this printer during his residence at Emden. Godfrey 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 Gheijlliaert, 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 (loc. 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 buy ten Londen, doer Collinus Volck winners.
Anno 1554. 8. From Kuyper's A Lasco y loc. cit.
Isaac Le Long gives this as a pseudonym of Ctematius. A copy was said by Kuyper
to be in the possession of Mr. Fred. Muller ; 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

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
Theophilu/w Brugensen 1554." 12. It is described as a work printed by the Nether-
lands protestant refugees in London. If the Volckwinner is Erve's, perhaps this may
be also.

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 P'rizius, Deleen, and perhaps others. See Dr. F. Pijper's Jan
Utenhove, 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 Ecdesiae Londino-
Batavae Archivum (ed. Hessels), Vol. II, No. 18, note 3.

According to Arber (V, xciv) he avowedly published in 1586 without entering at
Stationers' Hall. By a document of 1585, in the Ecdesiae Londino-Batavae
Archivum (ed. Hessels, III, No. 953), he appears to have been one of the
wardens of the French Church. A Hier. Haultin appears as printer at La
Rochelle, 1588-1596, printing J. de 1'Espine's Traitte de la providence de Dieu
in the former year, and E. Bonnet's Response sommaire a la declaration de

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.
anno 1553." There is a copy of this in the Stadtbibliothek of Mainz, the only
HILL HOLLYARD. 31
one now known. Meiners (Oostvrieschlandts Kerkelyke Gesch. Groningen,
I 738- I> 33 2 -) seems to mention two copies recorded in his day. He says that
John Utenhove translated the great " Oostvriescher Catechismus" into the
Netherlands dialect for the use of the London church, and had it printed by
Nicolaus van den Berge in 1553, and that J. J. Harkenroht possessed a copy.
Then he says that on the title of a copy of Ctematius's edition of 1558 he found
inscribed the information that the first edition was printed at London by
Nycolas van den Berge, Anno 1553, and that Engelke Pottebakker possessed
such a copy.
It may be also noted that in Foxe's Martyrs, 4th ed., edited by J. Pratt, Vol. VIII,
p. 759, are described two varying issues of Cranmer's Catechismus (the transla-
tion of Justus Jonas's book), one of which having "Gualterus Lynne excudebat
1548" on the title, has also colophon " Imprynted at London 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 de librorum prohibitorum catalogo observando (Antwerp, 1570) is
mentioned " Een cort begrype ende slot van der gansser heyliger scriftueren des
ouden ende nieuwe testamente, gedruckt te Londen by Niclaes van Berghen."

He is called Arnolde Vaukyll in the note of the Lord Mayor who imprisoned him

almanack, together with Stell, in 1569. (See under STELL below.) An Aert

quented the various London churches in 1568. (jR. of A., I, 385.)

Lewis Senior had moved to Fleet Yard at this time, and Hue in this entry is only

It seems that these entries refer to one man because of a letter noted in Ecclesiae
Londino-Batavae Archivum (ed. Hessels, Vol. Ill, 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 Watkins, 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
1571-6, the same period as Johnson.

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-
vunt (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'

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 Ecclesiac Londino-Batavae Archivum (ed. Hessels) we obtain
further information with regard to this man. On 8 April, 1556 (Vol. I, No. 6),
Ortelius sends maps to him, and addresses him as " Immanuel van Metheren
dienaer van Sebastian danckaerts op somers kaij." This was his abode for
many years. In 1609 (III, No. 1,695) we have his age, about 74, and the fol-
lowing facts : He was brought to England anno 1550, in Edward VI's days, by
his father (James, see above), a furtherer of the reformed religion, "as he that
caused the first bybel at his costes bee Inglished bij Mr. Mijles Coverdal in
Antwerp, the wiche his father with Mr. Eduard Withchurche printed bothe in
44 METEREN MIERDMAN.
Paris and London, be wiche meanes here wel acquainted, was one of the
suyters for the erection of a Dutche Churche at the Augustyn Fryars, and made
this deponent a member of the same anno 1552." Emanuel was excluded from
the Church from the beginning of the Hamstede troubles until I July, 1561
(III, No. 54, note). He seems to have been almost agent for Ortelius in
England, as Richard Mulcaster ordering books from Antwerp promises Ortelius
that he will pay Meteren (I, No. 104), and on a capture of Philip II's
indulgences, illustrated missals, etc., Meteren promised to try and obtain some
for Ortelius, 1592 (I, No. 225). Meteren died 8 April, 1612.

This name does not seem to occur in the Subsidy Lists. He is said to have been

perhaps as bookseller. He was one of those who with Erve were called before

The following is a contribution to a list of his books :
1536. Uitlegging op het 53 eCapittel van S. Job. Evangelic. (Antw., Mierdman?) 1536. 8.
See W. Nijhoff's Bibliographic, No. 439.
c. 1540. Een schoone Prophet, van den Doerluchtighen Keyser. Antw. S. Mierdmans.
c. 1540. 8.
See W. Nijhoff's Bibliographic ^ No. 66*, where the type is described as being like
that of Niclaes van Oldenborgh.
1543. El nvevo testame*Kto 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 MDXLIII. 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
Memoires relatifs a 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-pageafter an alteration for which
the sheet was reprinted yet the dedication to Melanchthon brought down on the
translator the displeasure of Pierre de Soto, the Emperor's confessor, and so Enzinas
went to prison. In some way Matthew Cron (or Crom) had been mentioned as the
printer of this work, and as he had already printed other prohibited books, that was
one reason why this was looked on with disfavour. It is curious that they both occur
in the next mentioned :
1543. Der sieckentrost. Onderwijsinghe, om ghewillichlijck te sterven. Troostinghe, om
den siecken totten rechten gheloove ende betrouwen in Christo te onderwijsen. Ghemeyn

PYNSON, RICHARD.
1513. from Normandy, Letters of denization 30 July. Dcniza-

This is probably the son of the famous 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 Duff'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 Richard above, and a Fabian
Pynson), who took out letters of denization July, 1544 (Denizations, p. 200).

54 RENIALMI REYNES.
1594. RENIALMI (continued}. The wife of Ascanius, and Nicolas de
Bruyne her servant. Dutch Church Reg. II, 462.
J 599- [RENIALME], valuation xvli., and Elizabeth his wife, per
poll viijd. Ill, 50.
Renialmi was a witness to Vautrollier'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 medicinae universalis, 1598, was licensed to George Bishop
and Ascanius. (See Arber III, 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 Antwerp 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).

There is a denization of a John Reynes, from the town of "Wagenyng" in
Gueldres, 7 June, 1510 (see Denizations, p. 205, where he is identified with a
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.

and in 1585 a Richard as servant to Blome in St. Martin's le Grand
(II, 390). These may be the same (?).

Rochforth, St. Leonard's, Aldersgate. I, 314.
) Farringdon Within, Henry Rotchefordes servante. I, 359.
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 ROCttEFORTH- RUREMUND.
He 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.
1541. ROWE, JOHN, servant to Kerry 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 j 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.

Bossuyts occurs again as Bartholomue van Bowsick in 1576, in the precinct of
Christchurch, within the Duke's palace (II, 164).
1571. [HULSBUSCH], Dutchman, denizen in Tower Ward, and
Mechtilde, his wife. I, 457.
An entry on I, 458 (Men servants, strangers, dwelling with the denizens), 1571,
Tower Ward, "John Hulbusch scrivenour borne in Gelderland, hath bene in
England 7 weekes " perhaps refers to the son mentioned below.

of the same, no denizen. II, 141.

Possibly this entry refers also to the son. In one of 1530, in the Liggeren der
Antwerpsche Sint Lucasgilde, I, 1 1 6, Hansken van Remunde geleert by Jacob
Orbach, will be a nephew, the son of Christopher.

between 1559 and 1589. See Rooses' Chris fophe Plantin, p. 408. The
district in which Sassen lived, St. Faith's, is in favour of his being connected
with the book trade.

1576. - [SKYLDER alias PAINTER], St. Martin's, Farringdon Without,
in the house of Jeffry Ponde, Englishman; valuation xxs. II, 171.
This printer also called himself Pittore in 1607 on Florio's Historia de la morte de
.... Signora Giovanna Graia (" Stampato appresso Richardo Pittore," see
Hazlilt, 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 type, 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 Marnix van Sant Aldegonde's Bee Hive of the Romish Church,
translated by George Gilpin. Thomas Dawson, 1579, for Hans Stell (See Arber
V, 1 1 1). 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 Marnix'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 Hou-welicks, waer in door veel
schoone ende ghenoechelycke redenen^ ghelyckenissen ende gheboden, vertoocht
ende gheleert wordt, hoe dat man ende wijf hen teghen elckanderen dragende een
vraetsaem, liejlick, ende gheluckich leven met elckanderen sullen leyden. Wt
den Grieckschen Autheur Plutarchus, int Neduytsch (sic) 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 1616, and
an Abraham Schilders printed there in 1620 (see 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, 1571 (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 (*&> 223), but the same person also appears 30 Mar., 1573, as John Rowe,
alias Symond (p. 210).

Thomas Marshe for the next year. See Arber I, 319.

servant, here one year. I, 364.
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 Bibliographic^ II, 150, and III, 481 :
1568. Belijdenisse ende eenvoudige wtlegghinge des gheloofs, gemaect van de

This Dutch edition of the Latin work (printed at Heidelberg by Michael Schirat,
1567) is in the same type and style as the 1568 Belijdenisse above. A copy is
in the Cambridge University Library. At end is an address in verse from the
printer to the reader. No printer's name or place is given.

SPILMAN, SIMON.
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 Spilman, who was Her Majesty's
jeweller, but had granted to him letters patent in 1598 "to collect lynin 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.
II, 335-
In 1576, Fleet Yard, Farringdon Without, there is a Bartholomew Samford, ser-
vant to Barbara Lymberger (II, 170), and in 1586 one of the same name in
St. Clements Danes or the Savoy within the liberty of the Duchy of Lancaster,
valued at iij li., was certified to have no goods. There is also a denization of
a Bartholomew Sandforde from the dominion of the King of Spain, 8 July, 1586.

TURGAY, JOHN.
1562. Admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, I June. Arber I, 187.
The Dutch Church Register has the name Jan Torkhors' in 1567, as also that of
Matthys Torhb'rs'. 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 -A von, was apprenticed
to G. Bishop, and put with Vautrollier for 6 years to learn printing. He after-
wards married Vautrollier's widow, and succeeded him in business. In 1580
Vautrollier was in Edinburgh, and till April 1582 at least. See Aldis, List of
Books printed in Scotland, p. 122.

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,
denizen 21 years. Androwes a Scotchman his servant, and 4

In 1584 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, or*, green
paper.
Of his children, Manasses Vautrollier, 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).
1571. VAYTER, NICHOLAS, servant to John de Planche, q.v.
Nicholas Valtere, servant, French, no denizen, 1567, Farringdon Within Ward

John Johnson (y.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 Dordrecht, describes Janssen as a compositor with
Verhagen there. Rcclesiae Londino-Batavae 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
Duff's 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 1613.

In the Registers of the Dutch Churchy Austin Friars, 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' Plantin, p. 408), and he is mentioned frequently in the
Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivwn (ed. Hessels), under forms Woudneel,
Waldnell, Wooudneel, and Woltnel. In 1586 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
1591, 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).

burial in St. Mary Colechurch of " Mris Woulforde Mr. Wolforde wief"

Admitted Brother of the Stationers' Company, 19 Nov. Arber I, 219.
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 Cornhill, 1571-74 (Arber V, 80, 84,
89, 92).
Baron de Schickler notes a book (I, 204), " Imprime & 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 East Smithfield (ft. of A., I, 254), and
William Gillam, St. Sepulchre's, Holborn Cross Quarter in 1564 (I, 299), which
may either or both refer to the " Brother."

14 years. II, 45.
In 1581 Jacob Wolfaert, compositor, and his wife, are referred to by Jan Janssen,
writing from Dordrecht. See Ecclesiae Londino-Batavae Archivum (ed.

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 1571, 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 Cullen (Cologne) being next door to Cleveland.

Among the Epistolae Ortelianae is the following, in a Latin letter (No. 43) from
Nicolaus Reinoldus Londinensis to Ortelius, 1573 : " Reginald Wolf the King's
Printer recently asked me to send you 25 maps of the province of Muscovy, and
I gladly do so. He paid for them with the understanding that I should give you
one copy as I do ... If you find our maps saleable will you write to Reginald,
and he will let me know at his convenience." See Duff's Century, p. 171.
