ANDREWE (LAWRENCE), printer in London, was born or lived some time in Calais. He translated The valuation of Gold and Silver and The wonderful shape and nature that our Saviour Christ Jesu hath created in beasts, serpents, fowls, etc., which were printed at Antwerp by Jan van Doesborch. Though these are the only translations with Andrewe's name printed by Doesborch, it is very probable that several more of that printer's English books are also translations made by Andrewe. In 1527 he published two editions of his own translation of the Vertuose boke of Distyllacyon, by H. Braunschweig, which are remarkable. Though dated on two succeeding days, April 17th and 18th, they vary throughout. He appears to have been connected in business with P. Treveris { TREVERIS, Peter ‹ LBT 30106 › }, for his device is found in some copies of the latter's Grete Herball, of 1529. Andrewe printed four undated books, Esop's Fables, and the Directory of the Conscience, both known only from imperfect copies, and the Mirror of the World and the Debate and stryfe betwene Somer and Wynter, this last being printed about 1530 for Robert Wyer { WYER, Robert ‹ LBT 02899 › }. The Mirror contains a curious selection of miscellaneous woodcuts, one of which was used in 1539 as a device by James Gaver { GAVER, James ( - 1545) ‹ LBT 28399 › }. Some initials which Andrewe used were cut specially for him, as they contain small reproductions of his mark. His device consists of his mark on a shield surrounded by some florid renaissance ornament. He lived in Fleet Street at the sign of the Golden Cross. Leonard Andrewe { ANDREWE, Leonard ‹ LBT 28559 › }, a printer about the same time, may have been a relation.
