HATFIELD (ARNOLD), printer in London, 1584-1612; Eliot's Court Printing Office, Old Bailey. Arnold Hatfield was made a freeman of the Company of Stationers by Henry Denham { DENHAM, Henry ‹ LBT 08578 › } the printer on January 16th, 1580/1. Early in 1584 he is found in partnership with Ninian Newton { NEWTON, Nynion ( - 1591) ‹ LBT 08408 › }, Edmund Bollifant { BOLLIPHANT, Edmond ( - 1602) ‹ LBT 07342 › } and John Jackson { JACKSON, John ‹ LBT 02594 › }. This syndicate purchased the types, ornaments and initial letters of Henry Bynneman { BYNNEMAN, Henry (1542 - 1583) ‹ LBT 07678 › }, and set up in Eliot's Court, Old Bailey. There would seem to have been an agreement between the partners that they should only put their names in the imprints of such books as they themselves actually printed. The result is that the names of all the partners never appear on any one book. Hatfield and Newton printed the first book issued by the press in 1584, Edmund Bunny's edition of Robert Parsons' Booke of Christian Exercise, and also editions of Cæsar's Commentarii and of Juvenal and Persius, both in 1585. [Herbert, p. 1211]. In 1596 Arnold Hatfield printed The Historie of Philip Comines, in folio, for John Norton { NORTON, John ( - 1612) ‹ LBT 08174 › }. In 1598 in partnership with Edmund Bollifant he printed for Bonham { NORTON, Bonham ( - 1635) ‹ LBT 08173 › } and John Norton, R. Greneway's translation of the Annals of Tacitus. On the death of Bollifant in 1602, Hatfield was joined by Melchisidec Bradwood { BRADWOOD, Melchisdecke ( - 1618) ‹ LBT 07329 › } and issued for several London stationers Philemon Holland's translation of Plutarch's Moralia, 1603. They were also the printers of the splendid edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of Abraham Ortelius, published by John Norton and John Bill { BILL, John ( - 1630) ‹ LBT 08152 › } in 1606. Arnold Hatfield is believed to have died in 1612. He sometimes used a device of the Caduceus, but it was only one of several devices used by the members of this firm. His wife, whom he married in 1582, was named Winifred Howles { HOWLES, Winifred (mar. HATFEILD) ‹ LBT 03119 › }.
