TRUNDLE (JOHN), bookseller in London, 1603-26; In Barbican at the sign of Nobody, 1613. Son of John Trundle or Trundell of Barnet, Herts, yeoman. Apprentice for eight years to Ralph Hancock { HANCOCKE, Raffe ‹ LBT 08221 ›] }, stationer of London, from June 24th, 1589: took up his freedom on October 29th, 1597 [Arber, ii. 168, 270]. His first book entry is found on July 27th, 1603 [Arber, iii. 243]. Trundle dealt in ballads, news-books, plays and ephemeral literature. He was associated with Nicholas Ling { LYNGE, Nicholas ‹ LBT 07061 › } in the publication of the first quarto of Hamlet in 1603. The last entry under his name is found on July 18th, 1626 [Arber, iv. 163]. On June 1st, 1629, Margaret Trundle { TRUNDELL, Margaret ‹ LBT 03144 › }, widow of John Trundle, assigned her copyrights to John Wright { WRIGHT, John ‹ LBT 08748 › }, senior, John Grismand { GRISMAN, John ( - 1636) ‹ LBT 11119 › } and others. In 1636 a bookseller of this name had a shop in Paris and it is referred to in a letter from Sir Kenelm Digby to Edward, second Viscount Conway [see Library, April, 1904, pp. 158-72], but nothing is known of any other John Trundle.
