APPENDIX F.
IMPRINTS.
Lists and Tables of Oxford Imprints, 1585–1640.
The following tables and lists explain themselves. They give a detailed picture of the mutual relations of Oxford and London printers and publishers, and the development of the Oxford book trade. It will be noticed how the archaisms (Imprinted at Oxford by, or At Oxford, printed by, &c.) are gradually worn off, with the rhetorical descriptions (such as celeberrimæ Academiæ typographus), and the use of colophons.
In some cases we find fictitious imprints, as in 1602, nos. 5, 11, 1611 (see impr. 7a), 1612 (impr. 7), 1613 (impr. 32), 1616 (impr. 35), 1626 (impr. 67). The number of books with no printer’s or publisher’s name is small (see impr. 107, and Appendix, p. 151 (Stanley)), and of books with no imprint at all there are very few instances, see 1586, 12; 1602, 8 and 9; 1603, 5; 1606, 5; 1622, 6; 1625, 9; 1635, 13.
In the list which follows the spelling is modernized, the form alone is exact.
