Henry Bynneman, though not so high in Archbishop Parker's favour as John Day, was yet recommended by him to Burghley in 1569, and deserved his patronage by much good work. He printed an English version of Epictetus, Dr. Caius's _De Antiquitate Cantabrigiensis Academiae_ (1568), a handsome book with the text in italics, according to the fashion of the day, Van der Noodt's _Theatre of Voluptuous Worldlings_ (1569), a Latin text of Virgil believed to be the first printed in England (1570), the _Historia Brevis_ of Thomas Walsingham (1574), a handsome folio, several books by Gascoigne and Turberville, the first edition of Holinshed's _Chronicles_ (1577, published by John Harrison), and a few books in Greek. Thomas Vautrollier, a French refugee, set up a press at Blackfriars, at which he printed several editions of the Prayer Book in Latin (_Liber Precum Publicarum in Ecclesia Anglicana_), and of the New Testament in Beza's Latin version, for which latter he was granted a ten years' privilege in 1574. In 1579 he printed two very notable works, Fenton's translation of the History of Guicciardini and Sir Thomas North's _Plutarch_, the latter being one of the handsomest of Elizabethan books. In 1580 and again in 1584 he went to Edinburgh, printing several books there in 1584 and 1585. His second visit is said to have been due to trouble which came upon him for printing the _Spaccio della Bestia Triomphante_ of Giordano Bruno. His press at Blackfriars continued to work during his absence. His daughter Jakin married Richard Field, who succeeded to his house and business in 1588, and continued his excellent traditions.
