REDMAN (JOHN), printer in Southwark and London, is first mentioned in the report of a law suit tried about 1530 between John Rastell { RASTELL, John ( - 1536) ‹ LBT 28539 › } the printer and Henry Walton on a matter relating to theatrical dresses. He is there described as a stationer of London aged 22 years. [Bibl. Soc. Trans., IV, p. 176.] Later on he was living in Southwark and there printed for his namesake Robert Redman {REDMAN, Robert ( - 1540) ‹ LBT 29164 › } an edition of the Paradoxa of M. T. Cicero translated by Whitinton. This would be before 1540 and about that year he moved to a shop in Pater Noster Row with the sign of Our Lady of Pity, perhaps the one which had been earlier occupied by W. de Worde { WORDE, Wynkyn de ( - 1534) ‹ LBT 02699 › }. Here he printed two broadside ballads, one for Richard Bankes { BANKES, Richard ‹ LBT 28349 › }, an Almanack, and an edition of the Epistles and Gospels all without date but about 1540, and an edition of the Imitatio Christi is also ascribed to him on the authority of the Harleian catalogue. In 1542 he issued an edition of the Genealogye of Heresye, and after this date nothing is known of him. It is generally suggested that he was a relation of Robert Redman but there is no proof of this, and he is not mentioned in the latter's will.
