About this book
The Early Oxford Press is a bibliography of printing and publishing at Oxford, with notes, appendixes and illustrations by Falconer Madan. The preface says the present work was undertaken early in 1889 and is an attempt to describe in detail the products and working of the Oxford Press in its early days. One entry records a dedication to John King, bp. of London, signed Johannes Glanvillus. A further entry records a dedication to sir Thomas Lowe, Master, and to the 4 Wardens, of the Haberdashers’ Company in London, dated Bunbury, 19 July 1613.
One entry describes a large wood engraving of Jacobus de Voragine writing the Golden Legend, seated at his desk beneath a canopy. One entry lists Microcosmos by John Davies, of Hereford. An entry names pieces including Devoraxeis, on the earl of Essex, and P. Sidnæi funus, all described as Latin hexameter poems.
