LOBLEY or LOBLE (WILLIAM), bookseller and bookbinder in London, 1557-83. Apprenticed to Michael Lobley { LOBLE, Michael ( - 1567) ‹ LBT 08000 ›] } [see Duff, Century], by whom he was made free on August 11th, 1557 [Arber, i. 73]. He was fined for selling Nostradamus in 1562-3 [Arber, i. 216]. In 1565-6 he entered in the Registers "muskelus vpon the lj psalme by master coxe" [Arber, i. 302], but the book does not seem to have been printed. This was his only entry and his name is not known to occur in any imprint. He took part in some disputes that arose in 1577, apparently about the employment of foreign bookbinders, but submitted himself to the Company in January, 1577/8 [Arber, i. 478, ii. 880]. He was on the side of John Wolf { WOLFE, John ‹ LBT 07327 › } in the attack upon the printing privileges in 1582 [Arber, i. 144], and in one of the documents concerning this he is called a bookbinder [ii. 779].
