Transcriptions
[GRISMAN] { GRISMAN, (Unknown) ‹ LBT 03527 › }; secondly, of Mary [GRISMAN]
McKerrow, R.B. &c. (1910), p.118
GRISMAND or GRISMOND (JOHN), bookseller, printer and typefounder in London, 1618-38; The Gun, near the Little North door of St. Paul's, 1618; (2) The Gun, St. Paul's Alley, 1621; (3) The Gun, Ivy Lane, 1627-36. Took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers on December 2nd, 1616 [Arber, iii. 684). Between 1618 and 1622 he was associated in the publication of books with John Marriott { MARRIOTT, John ( - 1661) ‹ LBT 10180 › }. He also printed and sold ballads, and his name occurs in a list of those to whom 128 ballads were entered on December 14th, 1624 [Arber, iv. 131]. As his name does not appear in the list of authorised printers in 1615, it is possible that he did not set up a press of his own until after his appointment as a recognised typefounder, under the Star Chamber decree of 1637 [Arber, iv. 535). The last book entry under his name occurs on November 5th, 1635 [Arber, iv. 350]. John Grismand died before December 31st, 1638, when his will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, being dated January 5th, 1636. He was twice married, but left no heir, and his property passed by will to his second wife Mary { GRISMAN, Mary ‹ LBT 03528 › }. Amongst the stationers to whom he left bequests were Richard Cotes { COTES, Richard ( - 1653) ‹ LBT 08943 › }, Nathaniel Man { ? }, Edwin Bush { BUSH, Edwin ‹ LBT 06885 › }, and Philip Nevill { NEVILL, Phillip ( - 1650) ‹ LBT 10047 › }, and he nominated Thomas Downes { DOWNES, Thomas ( - 1658) ‹ LBT 11199 › } and John Parker { PARKER, John ( - 1648) ‹ LBT 09904 › } overseers [P.C.C., 169, Lee). He was succeeded by John Grismand II { GRISMOND, John ‹ LBT 08987 › }, believed to have been his nephew. See Plomer, Dictionary.
