Introduction
Timothy Ryder was a bookseller in London active during the 1570s and 1580s. He was apprenticed to Richard Linnell from 1564 and gained his freedom from the Stationers' Company in 1571, subsequently serving as the Company's Beadle from 1578. Ryder entered several works to the Stationers' Register, including The Paradise of Dainty Devices and The Widow's Treasure in 1582-1584, though he transferred both to Edward White rather than publishing them himself. He took on at least three apprentices during his career and remained active in the book trade until at least 1588.

RIDER (TIMOTHY) (?) bookseller in London, 1579-86. Son of John Ryder of Weedon Beck, co. Northampton, husbandman. Apprenticed to Richard Lynnell { LINNELL, Richard ‹ LBT 28232 › } for seven years from February 2nd, 1563/4 [Arber, i. 250]. Made free of the Company March 21st, 1570/1 [Arber, i. 447]. He became the Company's Beadle on March 25th, 1578 [Arber, i. 478]. On July 26th, 1582, the Paradise of Dainty Devices, formerly H. Disle's { DISLE, Henry ‹ LBT 07877 › }, was entered to him, and on April 6th, 1584, The Widow's Treasure [Arber, ii.414,430]. He does not seem to have published either work, and on April 11th, 1584, he transferred both to Edward White { WHITE, Edward ( - 1612) ‹ LBT 08008 › } [Arber, ii. 431]. On December, 2th, 1586, he entered a ballad "Howe make-bates abused a man and his wife" [Arber, ii. 461], but no copy seems to be known. Two undated productions by L. Ramsey were printed for him, a pamphlet entitled The practise of the Devil, and a sheet concerning the death of Sir Nicholas Bacon (in 1579), entitled A Short Discourse of Man's Fatal End [Hazlitt, H. 496]. As the former was to be sold by Henry Kirkham { KYRKHAM, Henry ( - 1593) ‹ LBT 08088 › }, it seems probable that Rider had no shop. He was alive in 1588 [Arber, ii. 702].
