History Of Printing In Ipswich
The history of printing in Ipswich, Suffolk dates back to the sixteenth century. The oldest extant book published in Ipswich is an edition of ''Historia Evangelica'' by Juvencus published in 1534. However this book was printed in Antwerp. In 1547 and 1548, there was a sudden increase in printing in Ipswich. For many years it was thought that this was the work of three printers, but more recent research has indicated there were but two, the third being a false imprint for books printed in continental Europe. Reginald Oliver The earliest record of a "stationer", i.e. someone involved in the various activities of publishing, printing, bookbinding as well as the sale of books and writing materials is that of Reginald Oliver. In the oldest extant book which claimed Ipswich as its place of publication in 1534 includes the sentence "Vxneunt Gypsuici in foro piscario, per Reginaldum Oliuerium" (Sold at Ipswich in the Fish Market by Reginald Oliver). However this book was not printed in Ipsw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William Seres
William Seres (died ) was an English Protestant printer, starting work in about 1546, and working in partnership with John Day for a few years. Day and Seres specialized in religious works, such as those by Robert Crowley, which were largely related to theological controversies of the time. By 1550, Day and Seres were busy and successful enough to amicably separate their businesses. Seres afterwards joined partnership for a time with the printer and translator Anthony Scoloker, and in 1553 received letters patent for the printing of psalters, primers and prayer-books. However, he lost this privilege after the accession of Queen Mary to the throne in July 1553, when the entire religious climate of the country changed. He seems to have sought safety on the Continent. His letters patent were renewed with the accession in 1558 of Elizabeth I. In his old age he assigned his business for a yearly rental to Henry Denham who became a member of the Stationers' Company in 1560. Seres ...

History Of Ipswich
History (derived ) is the systematic study and the documentation of the human activity. The time period of event before the invention of writing systems is considered prehistory. "History" is an umbrella term comprising past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of these events. Historians seek knowledge of the past using historical sources such as written documents, oral accounts, art and material artifacts, and ecological markers. History is not complete and still has debatable mysteries. History is also an academic discipline which uses narrative to describe, examine, question, and analyze past events, and investigate their patterns of cause and effect. Historians often debate which narrative best explains an event, as well as the significance of different causes and effects. Historians also debate the nature of history as an end in itself, as well as its usefulness to give perspective on the problems of the p ...

Printing Press
A printing press is a mechanical device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium (such as paper or cloth), thereby transferring the ink. It marked a dramatic improvement on earlier printing methods in which the cloth, paper or other medium was brushed or rubbed repeatedly to achieve the transfer of ink, and accelerated the process. Typically used for texts, the invention and global spread of the printing press was one of the most influential events in the second millennium. In Germany, around 1440, goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press, which started the Printing Revolution. Modelled on the design of existing screw presses, a single Renaissance movable-type printing press could produce up to 3,600 pages per workday, compared to forty by hand-printing and a few by hand-copying. Gutenberg's newly devised hand mould made possible the precise and rapid creation of metal movable type in large quantities. His two ...

Ipswich
Ipswich () is a port town and borough in Suffolk, England, of which it is the county town. The town is located in East Anglia about away from the mouth of the River Orwell and the North Sea. Ipswich is both on the Great Eastern Main Line railway and the A12 road; it is north-east of London, east-southeast of Cambridge and south of Norwich. Ipswich is surrounded by two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB): Suffolk Coast and Heaths and Dedham Vale. Ipswich's modern name is derived from the medieval name ''Gippeswic'', probably taken either from an Anglo-Saxon personal name or from an earlier name given to the Orwell Estuary (although possibly unrelated to the name of the River Gipping). It has also been known as ''Gyppewicus'' and ''Yppswyche''. The town has been continuously occupied since the Saxon period, and is contested to be one of the oldest towns in the United Kingdom.Hills, Catherine"England's Oldest Town" Retrieved 2 August 2015.

Anthony Scoloker
Anthony Scoloker (died 1593) was a translator and printer who established the first printshop in Ipswich, Suffolk. He was invited to the town by Richard Argentine, with whom he worked on three Protestant tracts. He produced six books with an Ipswich imprint before returning to London. Anthony Scoloker ''fl'' 1604 For some time Anthony Scoloker was identified as "An. Sc.", the author of ''Daiphantus, or the Passions of Love'' a burlesque of contemporary lovesick young men as depicted in the play and love poetry of the time. Francis Douce put this forward in 1807, but other scholars have questioned this, arguing that as there are two mentions of '' Hamlet'' by William Shakespeare, but as Scoloker died in 1593 before ''Hamlet'' was written sometime between 1599 and 1601, there is little support for this view nowadays. Nevertheless, this attribution to "Anthony Scoloker" attribution as author is maintained by OCLC OCLC, Inc., doing business as OCLC, See also: is an American ...
