== Introduction ==
<div style="width:90ch;">
John Mantell was an apprentice in the London book trade and member of the Stationers' Company. Bound to the prominent printer John Day on 25 July 1569 for seven years, Mantell trained in the printing and bookselling trades during a formative period in English book production. He was the son of Walter Mantell of Horton, Kent, and represents the continuation of the Mantell family's involvement in the London book trade.

MANTELL (WALTER), bookseller in London, 1583-7. There is some confusion in the records of this stationer. On July 25th, 1569, a John Mantell { MANTELL, John ‹ LBT 07323 › } son of Walter Mantell of Horton, in the county of Kent, was apprenticed to John Day { DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 › } for seven years. There is no entry of this John's admission to the freedom of the Company; but on January 21st, 1585, we find a Walter Mantell (LBT/07515), of whose apprenticeship there is no record, made free by Francis Godliff { GODLYFE, Fraunces ‹ LBT 07511 › }. This was perhaps another case of two brothers apprenticed to the same trade. In the Wardens' accounts for the year ending July 10th, 1588, there occurs the entry, "Paid to Walter Mantell for bookes that had been seised the yeare before this ... xs." These were possibly copies of the A B C and Little Catechism for which he and others were cited before the Star Chamber in Michaelmas Term, 1585 [Arber, ii. 790 et seq.], but see Arber, i. 524.
