BOYLE (RICHARD), bookseller in London, 1584-1615. Son of Thomas Boile, of Hereford, capper, apprenticed to Thomas Woodcock { WOODCOCK, Thomas ( - 1594) ‹ LBT 07167 › }, stationer of London, for eight years from Michaelmas, 1576, and took up his freedom in the Company of Stationers on September 15th, 1584 [Arber, ii. 68, 692]. Herbert, p. 1279, says that he published in 1588 S. Bredwell's Rasing of the foundations of Brownisme, and dwelt at the Rose in St. Paul's Churchyard. The same authority slates that in the Tanner Manuscripts at Oxford there is a statement that Boyle was a puritan. There is a reference to "Boyle's shop at the Rose," in Martin Marprelate's Just Censure of Martin Junior, July, 1589, sig. A3v, from which it is to be gathered that he sold puritan works. Mr. Sayle, in his Early Printed Books at Cambridge, p. 1234, gives an edition of Thomas's Dictionary as published by Boyle about 1588. The last book entry under Boyle's name occurs on February 7th, 1614/5. [Arber, iii. 562], but it was not until the last day of June, 1625, that his widow, Ellen Boyle { BOYLE, Ellen ‹ LBT 03305 › }, transferred her late husband's copyrights to Nicholas Bourne { BOURNE, Nicholas (1584 - 1660) ‹ LBT 07024 › } [Arber, iv. 143].
