Summary
New printers: Robert Copland, John Skot
Both the men who began to print in London in 1521 had probably been trained by Wynkyn de Worde. Robert Copland needs no elaborate reintroduction to mark the beginning of his career as an actual printer. In 1521–2 he continued to translate and to write verses for de Worde, although once he began using his own press he never again published jointly with his former master and never printed a book for him. His first solo book was a folio printed with type that de Worde had ceased to use a few years earlier (STC 1386); thereafter he acquired a new fount of his own, probably having first melted down the old type. In 1524, however, he did ask de Worde for help with his only other known folio (15050), of which sheets D3:4 and E2:3 were printed by his former master. Thereafter most of his literary efforts went into books he printed himself, usually also for himself but occasionally for others. The first example of the latter is The Rutter of the Sea (1528), translated by Copland with a prose preface and a verse lenvoy of his own, and printed by him for the ex-printer Richard Bankes.
