COOKE (MATTHEW), bookseller in London, 1606-7; The Tiger's Head, St. Paul's Churchyard. Son of Toby Cooke { COOKE, Toby ( - 1599) ‹ LBT 07620 › }, stationer of London. Apprentice to Edward Blount { BLOUNT, Edward (1564 - 1632) ‹ LBT 08253 › } for nine years from Christmas, 1595 [Arber, ii. 209]. Took up his freedom November 11th, 1605 [Arber, iii. 683]. On January 17th, 1605/6, in partnership with Samuel Macham { MACHAM, Samuel ( - 1615) ‹ LBT 08689 › }, he entered the pseudo-Chaucerian Ploughman's Tale [Arber, iii. 310]. He died before July 9th, 1607, when his share in the copyright of this and other works appears to have become wholly vested in the hands of Samuel Macham. His widow {Joanne COOK, Joane (mar. LISLE) ‹ LBT 03078 › } married Lawrence Lisle { LYLE, Laurence ‹ LBT 07995 › } [Arber, iii. 585]. She is mentioned in the will of Margery Cooke { COOKE, Margery ( - 1608) ‹ LBT 03146 › }, widow of Toby Cooke [Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, Book C., f. 239].
