OKES (NICHOLAS), printer in London, 1606-39; (1) Near Holborn Bridge, 1613; (2) In Foster Lane. Son of John Oakes, citizen and horner of London. Apprenticed to William King { KYNGE, Wylliam ‹ LBT 08532 › } for eight years from March 25th, 1596 [Arber, ii. 209]. Admitted a freeman of the Company on December 5th, 1603 [Arber, ii. 735], and became a master printer on April 19th, 1606 [Arber, iii. 700]. According to Sir John Lambe's statement, Nicholas Okes succeeded to the business founded by Thomas Judson { JUDSON, Thomas ‹ LBT 07893 › } in 1586. In 1615 he had one press, but some years later he took into partnership John Norton, junior { NORTON, John ‹ LBT 06839 › } [see Plomer, Dictionary], and they then had two presses. In 1621 Nicholas Okes printed George Wither's Motto, for which he got into trouble. Witnesses stated that he printed two impressions of 3,000 copies and that some of the most important booksellers in London were selling them [S. Papers Dom., James I, vol. cxxii, Nos. 12 et seq.]. About 1627 Nicholas Okes took his son John { OAKES, John ( - 1644) ‹ LBT 09150 › } into partnership and they were both called before the Court of High Commission for printing Sir Robert Cotton's Short View of the long life and reign of Henry the third. In 1630 Nicholas Okes was assessed to pay a sum of £15 towards the repair of St. Paul's. Owing probably to his previous record, neither he nor his partners were included in the list of master printers under the Star Chamber decree of 1637. The last entry under his name in the Registers was made on May 16th, 1636 [Arber, iv. 632]. The date of his death is unknown. He used the device or an oak tree.
