MACHLINIA (WILLIAM DE), printer in London, joined partnership about 1482 with John Lettou { LETTOU, John ‹ LBT 30041 › } the first printer in London. Machlinia, from his name was doubtless a native of Mechlin in Belgium. In partnership the two printers issued five books all of a legal character, printed in a very cramped gothic letter and abounding with contractions. About 1483 Machlinia was at work by himself in a printing office near Flete-bridge the office "near the church of All Saints" which the partners had occupied having been given up. At Flete-bridge Machlinia printed eight books and then moved to Holborn where he printed fourteen. One of the books printed here, the Speculum Christiani, was printed for a bookseller, Henry Frankenbergk { FRANKENBERGH, Henry ‹ LBT 28391 › } living in St. Clement's Lane. Machlinia certainly printed as late as 1486 for he issued a Bull of Innocent VIII confirming the marriage of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York which is dated March 27th, 1486. Machlinia's work was of the most careless description, and he made no use of any ornament, either initial letters or illustrations, with the exception of a rude border in his edition of the Sarum Horae. His books are with or without signatures for no apparent reasons, very few have a colophon, not one has a date, and it is impossible to arrange them in any definite order. [D.N.B. Duff, Printers of London and Westminster, pp. 36-46.]
