CLERKE (ANTHONY), bookseller in London, was in business about the year 1540. He seems to have been in some way associated with Richard Bankes { BANKES, Richard ‹ LBT 28349 › }and he lived next to him at the sign of the White Hart in Fleet Street. He issued two editions of the Epistles and Gospels in 1540 with the colophon, "Imprinted at London by Richarde Bankes, and solde in Fletestrete at the sygne of the whyte Harte by Anthony Clerke." [Herbert, I, 408, 410.] Nothing is heard of him until 1561, when there is an entry in the Register of the Stationers' Company, "Recevyd of Anthonye Clerke for his fyne and for his quarterages which he was behynde for xvj yeres the vj of maye. xxs." His son Michael { CLERKE, Mychell ‹ LBT 07141 › } was made free by patrimony in 1564.
