The St Albans Press was the third printing press set up in England, in 1479. It was situated in the Abbey Gateway, St. Albans, a part of the Benedictine Monastery of St Albans. The name of the printer is unknown, only referred to by Wynkyn de Worde in a reprinting of one of the St Albans books as 'Sometime schoolmaster'.〔EC Bigmore, CWH Wyman, A bibliography of printing : with notes and illustrations (1880), https://archive.org/details/bibliographyofpr02bigmrich〕 He has sometimes been identified as John Marchall, master of St Albans School; however, a passage written by Worde in 1497 implies that the printer was deceased, and Marchall is known to have lived until 1501.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Charles Ashdown )〕 ==Works== There are eight known printed works which came from the press:〔(istc.bl.uk )〕 * ''Elegantiolae'', Augustinus Datus (Agostino Dati, 1420–1478), about 1479. This work was a standard school text of the period, printed in very many editions. * ''De modis significandi, seu Grammatica speculativa'', Thomas de Erfordia, 1480. * ''Margarita eloquentiae, sive Rhetorica nova'', Laurentius Gulielmus Traversanus de Saona, 1480. The author Lorenzo Guglielmo Traversagni (1425–1503) was a Franciscan and humanist, and this work was a shorter version of his book on rhetoric.〔(University of Leeds, Special Collections, ''Lorenzo Guglielmo Traversagni, Epitome Margaritae Eloquentia''. )〕〔(British Library, record for ''Margarita eloquentiae, sive Rhetorica nova'' ).〕 * ''Quaestiones super Physica Aristotelis'', Johannes Canonicus, 1481. The author was writing in the 1320s. * ''Exempla Sacrae Scripturae ex utroque Testamento collecta'', Nicolaus de Hanapis, 1481. This was a work from the 13th century; the author, a French Dominican, became Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. * ''Scriptum in logica sua'', Antonius Andreae, about 1481-82. * ''The Chronicles of England'',〔http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/month/sep2001.html〕 about 1486. This was an enlarged edition of William Caxton's ''Chronicles'', with additions from the ''Fasciculus temporum'' of Werner Rolevinck.〔George D. Painter, ''William Caxton'' (1976), p. 188.〕 * ''Book of Saint Albans'' (Book of Hawking, Hunting, and Heraldry), not before 1486. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Albans Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
