BIRCKMAN (JOHN), stationer in London, is mentioned first in 1541, in which year he was keeping shop with John Cawood { CAWOOD, John (1514 - 1572) ‹ LBT 07101 › } in St. Paul's Churchyard, and his goods were valued at 100 marks. [R. of A., I, 67.] In 1544 he was valued at £20, and in 1547 at £30. [R. of A., I, pp. 93, 134.] In 1549 he was still valued at £30, and was living in 8t. Paul's Churchyard with Andrew Hester { HESTER, Andrew ‹ LBT 07705 › }, and many letters written about this time by him to Dryander were preserved in the University of Strasburg. He seems to have been associated in business with Arnold Birckman { BIRCKMAN, Arnold ‹ LBT 28244 › }, for Reynes { REYNES, John ( - 1542) ‹ LBT 28236 › }, in his will, written in 1542, speaks of books to be valued "after the price as Arnold and John Bryckman doe sell them to London to the booksellers."
