---====McKerrow, R.B. &c. (1910), p.290====
WILKES (OLIVER), bookseller and bookbinder in London, 1564-88. Made free of the Company of Stationers on October 3rd, 1564, and admitted into the Livery in 1582 [Arber, i. 279, 493]. His only book entry occurs in the Registers on February 11th, 1576/7 [Arber, ii. 308]. Oliver Wilkes bound books as well as selling them; in 1582 he was paid five shillings for binding a Bible for the King's Bench, and again in 1588 a similar sum for binding a Chronicle for a pursuivant. He died before August 8th in that year, when his will, dated a fortnight earlier, was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. He desired to be buried in the church of St. Faith's under St. Paul's, and he left a sum of six and eightpence to the Company of Stationers [P.C C., 53, Rutland].
