BRIGHT (THOMAS), bookseller and bookbinder in London, 1583-8. Son of Francis Bright, mercer, of London. Apprenticed to John Bishop {cf. BISHOP, George ( - 1600) ‹ LBT 06941 › }, stationer of London, for seven years from March 25th, 1576. He took up his freedom on March 26th, 1583, and on October 17th, 1586, he took an apprentice. [Arber, ii. 73, 687, 143.] This is all the registers have to tell us about this interesting stationer, who was both a bookseller and a bookbinder, and evidently had extensive dealings with his neighbours.
He died some time between September 10th and October 31st, 1588, and his will was proved in the court of the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's (Book B., f. 315). The following passages occur in it: “Nicholas Smythe owes me for a great Bible 12s." "Due unto William Blakewell one new bible payinge 4s." "To receive of him for binding two books 15d." "To receive of Mr. Kidson draper 32s. 6d." "I owe unto Mr. [Richard] Watkynnes stationer 30s." "To my landlord Mr. Edward Ryder for one quarters rent 15s." "For the housinge of books for Mr. Poonsonber [? Ponsonby] one whole year." "My boy Morris [i.e., Morris Pettefer { PETTEFER, Morrys ‹ LBT 07000 › - his apprentice - though no record of the turn-over has been found] to be turned over to serve his yeares with some honest man."
