Index of Names, Places and Titles Page numbers in italic refer to the principal discussions within the text of books (and their authors); page numbers in bold refer to their bibliographical descriptions. ‘The names of all authors and printers, both genuine

and fictitious, are listed; the names of historical characters are given also when they bear some relation to printing, publishing or bookselling. The geographical location of a printer is always London, unless some specific indication to the contrary is given. Names of royalty, such as Queen Elizabeth, Philip II, etc., are not indexed unless directly relevant. All cities, towns and regions, both genuine and fictitious, are listed for all occurrences; the one exception is the city of London, for which only selected and directly relevant entries are given. Names of countries are not indexed. The titles of all books, pamphlets and broadsides, in all languages and both contemporary and modern, are listed, usually with a reference to their author.
