Humphrey Robinson
Humphrey Robinson (died November 13, 1670) was a prominent London publisher and bookseller of the middle seventeenth century.
Robinson was the son of a Bernard Robinson, a clerk from Carlisle; other members of his family were important clergymen and church office-holders.〔Magrath, John Richard, ed. ''The Flemings in Oxford: Being Document Selected from the Rydal Papers.'' Oxford, Oxford Historical Society/Clarendon Press, 1904; Vol. 1, pp. 553-4.〕 Humphrey Robinson became a "freeman" (a full member) of the Stationers Company on June 30, 1623. He was active as an independent bookseller in the years 1624–70. Based in his shop at the sign of the Three Pigeons in St. Paul's Churchyard, he was "one of the largest and most important booksellers of this period."〔Plomer Henry Robert. ''A Dictionary of the Booksellers and Printers Who Were at Work in England, Scotland and Ireland from 1641 to 1667.'' London, The Bibliographival Society/Blades, East & Blades, 1907; p. 155.〕
==With Moseley==
Robinson is most noted for publishing two collections of plays in English Renaissance drama; he partnered in these works with colleague Humphrey Moseley. The most important of these collections was the first Beaumont and Fletcher folio of 1647; they also issued a significant collection of James Shirley's dramas titled ''Six New Plays'' in 1653. The two Humphreys also published a volume of the Duke of Newcastle's plays, and Sir William Davenant's ''Love and Honour'', both in 1649. (After Moseley's death in 1661, Robinson worked with widow Anne Moseley when she continued her late husband's business; conjointly they published the 1661 edition of the Beaumont and Fletcher play ''Beggars' Bush.'')
