LANT (RICHARD), printer in London, was made a freeman of the Stationers on the 6th September, 1537, and paid forty-four shillings for the privilege. About 1542 he printed W. Tolwyn's The manne of synne, which was re-issued at Zurich by Bale in 1543. For this or some other book now unknown he was brought, along with several other printers, before the Privy Council for printing unlawful books contrary to the proclamation, and on April 8th committed to prison. On April 23rd he was fined and released from the Fleet, but bound to bring in a true declaration of what books and ballads he had bought or sold within the last three years and to give the names of any merchants that he knew to have brought in prohibited books. [Acts of the P.C., vol. i, N.S., pp. 107, 117.]

Between 1542 and 1547 Herbert quotes five books and a sixth a Prognostication for 1544 is known. [B.M.] After this time Lant seems to have printed nothing of importance but confined his attention mainly to ballads and other broadsides. He issued several about 1552 dealing with the controversy between Churchyard and Camell, and in 1558 a number were printed by him which had been licensed to W. Riddell { RYDDELL, William ‹ LBT 08329 › }. On March 16th, 1556, he was brought before the Privy Council and bound over to deliver to Cawood { CAWOOD, Gabriel ( - 1602) ‹ LBT 07091 › } all the copies which he had printed of Cranmer's Recantation to be burnt. [Acts of the P.C., vol. v, N.S., p. 249.]

When he started printing he was living in the Old Bailey in St. Sepulchre's Parish, and at the end of his career "in Smithfield in the Parish of St. Barthelmewe's Hospital" and between these periods he lived first in Aldersgate Street where he published some ballads, and then in Paternoster Row. Books from his press are remarkably rare, there are but two in the British Museum and none in the Cambridge University Library.

He was an original member of the Stationers' Company, and in 1552 received a bequest of forty shillings under the will of Richard Kele { KELE, Richard ( - 1552) ‹ LBT 28231 › }. [Plomer, Wills, p. 10.]
