KNIGHT (CLEMENT), Draper and bookseller in London, 1594-1629; The Holy Lamb, St. Paul's Churchyard. Clement Knight was originally a draper and the first heard of him is an entry in the Registers on February 25th, 1594, when he was fined for selling three psalm books [Arber, ii. 822]. With several other members of the Drapers' Company he was transferred to the Stationers on June 3rd, 1600 [Arber, ii. 725], and was admitted into the Livery on June 30th, 1604 [Arber, ii. 875]. Clement Knight became an important member of the Stationers' Company, being elected Junior Warden in 1621, and Senior Warden in 1626 and 1627. He held shares in the Latin Stock, but appears to have dealt almost wholly in theological literature. On October 12th, 1629, he assigned over his rights in fifteen copies to Thomas Knight { KNIGHT, Thomas ‹ LBT 09340 › }, probably his son [Arber, iv. 220].
