CADMAN (THOMAS), bookseller in London,1584-9; The Bible, Great North Door of St. Paul's. Took up his freedom on June 16th, 1560 [Arber, i. 123]. Cadman appears to have been one of the most active of the band of stationers who defied the Masters and Wardens of the Company and resisted the decrees of the Star Chamber. He was one of those who sold John Day's { DAY, John (1522 - 1584) ‹ LBT 07316 › } A B C. He was fined for selling Powell's edition of Nostradamus and was constantly in trouble for disorderly conduct and quarrelling with other stationers. Amongst Cadman's publications were Lyly's Campaspe, 1584, and Greene's Spanish Masquerado, 1589.
