more likely to be Schottenius than any other work, but since no copy is known to survive, we cannot be quite certain.
Bynneman had also published, however, certain other schoolbooks at this period without surviving entry S. R. He published Cicero's Epistolae Familiares in 1571, which were then published by Marshe in 1574, followed by R. Robinson in 1590 (Herbert), and in 1591. In the meantime, as we shall see, Vautrollier had published editions in 1575, 1579, and 1581, which eventually caused conflict with Marshe. J. Jackson and E. Bollifant of the Eliot's Court printing house had also published an edition in 1585. Palingenius, Zodiacus, was published by Marshe in 1569," by Bynneman in 1572, then by Marshe in 1574, 1575, and 1579, followed by R. Robinson in 1592, and R. Dexter in 1599 (Herbert). Similarly, Bynneman had printed Justin in 1572, and again in 1577 (Herbert). Bynneman's edition is avowedly prepared for boys, and the copy of the edition of 1572 in the British Museum shows in some detail the handiwork of one of them. The Justin was listed as still Bynneman's on January 8, 1584." Justin was then printed by George Robinson in 1586 (Herbert), and by his successor T. Orwin under date of 1593. The following order of December 18, 1592, was made concerning this last edition,
Yt is ordered that when Tho orwin shall ¹haue fynished thimpression of Iustin in latin: he shall bringe the whole impression into the hall' and then the right of ms norton or any other pretendinge interest to yt to be Discussed' and further order to be taken for the distributinge of the seid booke accordinge to thordonaunces 16
The list of January 8, 1584, besides Justin, also attributes to Bynneman at that time Vives, Exercitatio Linguae Latinae, of which no copies are recorded S. T. C. for the sixteenth century. There is no indication from what date Bynneman claimed Vives.
It will be noticed that Bynneman's printing of schoolbooks was confined chiefly to 1570-72, before he procured Wolfe's stock in 1573, and thereafter turned chiefly to other fields. His further ventures of the kind are mostly Greek. In 1575, he printed Grant's Greek grammar for F. Coldock. In 1580 and in 1582 R. Newbery published editions of Christopher Ocland's .4nglorum Praelia as an assign of Bynneman, the latter having entered the work August 18, 1580. The Kettus of Alexander Neville, printed by Bynneman in 1582, sometimes appears as a third part of the 4nglorum Praelia in
