MATTES (EDMUND), bookseller in London, 1597-1613; The Hand and Plough, Fleet Street. Son of Robert Mattes of Kingsey, co. Oxford, and brother and successor of William Mattes { MATTES, William ( - 1597) ‹ LBT 08690 › }. He was apprenticed to W. Lownes { LOWNES, William ( - 1605) ‹ LBT 08603 › } for seven years from April 15th, 1583 [Arber, ii. 116], and made free of the Stationers' Company on April 30th, 1590 [Arber, ii. 707]. His first entry in the Registers, on November 7th, 1597, was a book which had shortly before been entered to his brother William [Arber, iii. 90, 96). Among his publications were John Marston's Metamorphosis of Pigmalion's Image,1598, and A. de Torquemada's Spanish Mandevile of Miracles, 1600. His last entry in the Registers was on June 5th, 1606 [Arber, iii. 323], and he is not known to have published anything after this year. He was however alive on October 11th, 1613, when he transferred the two works above mentioned, with J. C's Alcilia, formerly the property of W. Mattes, to Richard Hawkins { HAWKINS, Richard ( - 1635) ‹ LBT 08091 › } [Arber, iii. 533].
