AGGAS (EDWARD), bookseller in London, 1576-1616; (1) The Red Dragon, West End of St. Paul's, 1576-1602; (2) The Oaken Tree [or the Green Oak] in Long Lane, 1603. Son of Robert Agas or Aggas of Stokenaylonde, co. Suffolk, yeoman, apprenticed at Easter, 1564, for nine years to Humphrey Toy { TOY, Humphrey ( - 1577) ‹ LBT 08606 › } [Arber, i. 229]. First book entry July 1st, 1577 [Arber, ii. 314]. He was probably related to Ralph Aggas (or Agas). Amongst his publications were several translations from the French, some signed E. A. being probably his own work. He employed John Windet { WINDET, John ( - 1610) ‹ LBT 06795 › }, John Wolf { WOLFE, John ‹ LBT 07327 › }, Thomas Orwin { ORWIN, Thomas ( - 1593) ‹ LBT 08300 › }, Thomas Dawson { DAWSON, Thomas ( - 1620) ‹ LBT 07918 › }, and Thomas Gardiner { GARDENER, Thomas ‹ LBT 07490 › } amongst others to print for him. In many of his books a block of a wyvern resting upon a crown is seen. This was probably used as an ornament and not as a device. Edward Aggas died before January 21st, 1624/5, on which day his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. In it he mentions a son Samuel and his three children. It would appear from the Registers that he had another son named Elmore { AGGAS, Elmore ‹ LBT 08418 › }, who was apprenticed to Gregory Seton { SETON, Gregory ( - 1612) ‹ LBT 07898 › } on November 7th, 1603. As nothing more is heard of him and there is no reference to him in the will, the probability is that he pre-deceased his father. [D.N.B.; Arber, ii. 274; P.C.C., 9, Clark.]
