GREENE (LEONARD), printer and bookseller in Cambridge, 1606-30; Parish of Great St. Mary's. Admitted a freeman of the Company of Stationers on April 14th, 1606, and made his first entry in the Register in company with John Porter { PORTER, John ‹ LBT 07280 › } on May 13th, 1606 [Arber, iii. 683, 321]. In 1607 he paid 3s. 4d. church rate, and from 1612 to 1630 he was assessed at 4s. annually. From 1612 to 1617 he paid rent for his shop at the south side of the steeple of St. Mary's church, Cambridge (figured in Loggan's Cantabrigia Depicta), and for the shop on the north side occupied by W. Williams, a bookbinder [q.v.]. By a Grace of October 31st, 1622, he was appointed one of the printers to the University, and on December 16th, 1625, there is a second Grace for sealing a patent to him in conjunction with Thomas and John Buck. The last entry under his name in the Stationers' Registers occurs on January 22nd, 1629/30. Leonard Greene was associated with other Cambridge and London stationers, such as Cantrell Legge { LEGGE, Cantrell ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 07981 › }, Thomas Pavier { PAVIER, Thomas ( - 1625) ‹ LBT 08217 › } and James Boler { BOLER, James ( - 1635) ‹ LBT 09475 › }, and like most of the University stationers he had an agent in London, his edition of Giles Fletcher's Reward of the Faithfull, 1623, being "to be sold at the sign of the Talbot in Paternoster Row." He died some time in 1630 and was buried at Cambridge. His widow Joane { GREENE, Joane ‹ LBT 03496 › } continued to live in the same house for two years after his death.
