DUFF, E.G. (1905), p.101
MARTYNSON (SIMON), stationer in London, was a native of Haarlem, and took out letters of denization February 26th, 1535. [Pat. 26 Hen. VIII, p. 2, m. 42.] As he is the only person named Simon connected with the book trade that I can trace, he may be the person mentioned by De Worde { WORDE, Wynkyn de ( - 1534) ‹ LBT 02699 › } in his will "Simon my servant the value of xx.s in books." In the Records at the Guildhall is an entry dated September 17th, 1538, "Item the Kyngs most gracious letters written in favor of a denisyn called Symond Martinson, stacyoner to be fre of London." [Repertory, 10.]
’’Cf’’. DUFF, E.G. (1905), p.148
SIMON, printer in London, was an assistant to W. de Worde who left him in his will twenty shillings in books. [Plomer, Wills, p. 4.] He may perhaps be the same as Simon Martynson.
MLT Note: Duff, E.G. (1905) - at the Guildhall is an entry dated September 17th, 1538, "Item the Kyngs most gracious letters written in favor of a denisyn call Symond Martinson, stacyoner to be fre of London." [Repertory, 10.] - he could, of course, have been freed in some other Company than the Stationers'. --- Cf. - Simon, printer in London, was an assistant to W. de Worde (LBT/02699) - Duff, E.G. (1905), p.148. ---
