Thomas Bassendyne
Thomas Bassendyne or Bassinden (died 1577), was the printer of the earliest translation of the New Testament published in Scotland.
==Background==
Bassendyne carried on the business of a printer, conjointly with that of bookbinder and bookseller, at Nether Bow, Edinburgh. There is a tradition that he at one time occupied the house still pointed out as that of John Knox, and support was claimed for the tradition from the fact that Society Close in the neighbourhood was formerly called Bassendyne's Close. This, however, is sufficiently accounted for by the fact that Bassendyne occupied a tenement at the Nether Bow on the south side of the High Street, nearly opposite Knox's house.
The exact site of the building is placed beyond doubt by the evidence of George Dalgleish in reference to the murder of Darnley: "efter they enterit within the (Bow ) Port, thai zeid up abone Bassyntine's house, on the south side of the gait".〔Pitcairn's Criminal Trials, Supplement, p. 495〕 The tall narrow tenement which now occupies this site is of later date than the time of Bassendyne, although some of the rooms in the back part may have been occupied by him. In 1568 Bassendyne was enjoined by the general assembly of the ‘kirk’ to call in two books printed by him: ‘The Fall of the Roman Kirk,’ in which the king is called ‘supreme head of the primitive kirk,’ and a ‘Psalme Booke,’ with a ‘bawdy song,’ ‘Welcome Fortune,’ &c., printed at the end of it.〔Calderwood's History of the Kirk of Scotland, iii. 246〕
