Let others entreat of high mysteries, and climb up to the highest heavens: Ishall be content to write of things according to my knowledge

Thomas Becon

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single academic in possessionof a good deal of research must be in want of printer. But the printed book does not come to fruition single-handedly, rather it must acknowledgethe authors indebtedness to a whole host of individuals and institutions, as well as the publisher, without whose help its author would not reachan audience. With this in mind I must therefore acknowledge that I owe a multitude of thanks to a whole host of friends, colleagues, librarians,archivists, and institutions, as well as the printers of this monograph.

First and foremost I must thank the British Academy for allowingme the time and funding to build on my doctoral research and add, in particular, the material on the financial aspects of Days business. Specificthanks go to Ken Emond for his invaluable advice and support. Deep gratitude must also go to Tom Freeman, whose analytical eye and editorialskills helped ensure my PhD thesis, which was the foundation stone of this book, reached fruition. His generosity with both his time and his wealthof knowledge have been second to none. Particular thanks must also go to Margaret Aston, John Guy, Peter Lake, and Andrew Pettegree, for suchtremendous encouragement and advice. Hearty thanks also go to Tom Gray and Anne Keirby at Ashgate.

I would also like to offer thanks to the archivists and librarians at the following institutions: Birmingham City Library; the Borthwick Institute(now at the University of York); the British Library (with particular thanks to Giles Mandelbrote for all his help, advice and support); the Bodleian Library,Oxford; Cambridge University Library (particularly the ever-patient staff in the Rare Books Reading Room); Canterbury Cathedral Library; CorpusChristi College Library, Cambridge; the Folger Shakespeare Library; the Guildhall Library, London; the Huntington Library, California; TheNational Archives (formerly the Public Record Office); Norfolk County Record Office; the Institute of Historical Research (IHR), London; LambethPalace Library; Magdalen College Library, Oxford; Pembroke College Library, Cambridge; St Brides Printing Library, London; the library ofthe Worshipful Company of Papermakers and Stationers, Stationers Hall; Staatsarchiv des Kantons Zrich; Trinity College Library, Cambridge; Dr.Williams Library; York Minster Library (in particular, Deirdre Mortimer, to whom I owe a great deal of thanks); and the University of York Library.I would also like to thank the following societies and institutions for their financial assistance during this research: The Bibliographical Society; The British Academy; The Ecclesiastical History Society; The HumanitiesResearch Institute, University of Sheffield; Newnham College; Princeton University (Department of History); and York University (Department ofEnglish). In addition, I would like to thank all the convenors and attendees of the Monday and Tuesday seminars at the IHR, Senate House, for theirvaluable comments and discussions, which have been of enormous help and encouragement during the writing of this monograph.

My thanks also go to the multitudes who have, at various stages throughout my PhD and Fellowship, offered support and advice in innumerable ways,including: Stephen Alford, Chris Barlow, John Barnard, Maureen Bell, Jim Binns, Sid Bradley, Andrew Cambers, Patrick Collinson, Ian Colson, DavidCrankshaw, Pauline Croft, Anne Dillon, Simon Ditchfield, Sue Doran, John Edwards, Betty Eisenstein, Ken Fincham, Ian Gadd, Clare Gilchrist,Mark Goldie, Tony Grafton, Mark Greengrass, John Guy, Paul Hammer, Tim Harris, Sheila Hingley, John Hinks, Dale Hoak, Lucy Kaufman, ErickKeleman, Willie Kelly, Joe Kennedy, Scott Lucas, John McDiarmid, Chris Maitland, Lee Milburn, Anthony Milton, Philip Moore, John Morrill,Robin Myers, Baroness Onora ONeill of Bengarve, Ros Oates, Graham Parry, Carla Piedade, Ric Piedade, Tony Piedade, Bill Pietrucha, RoryRapple, James Raven, Graham Rees, Jacqueline Rose, Alec Ryrie, Ethan Shagan, Bill Sheils, David Smith, Wendy Turner, Nicholas Tyacke, MariaWakely, Alex Walsham, Sam Walton, Vivienne Westbrook, Kim Whitaker, Rivkah Zim; and to my very own, substantial probaleutic group, chairedby the venerable Natalie Mears, also including: Lucy Bates, Peter Blayney, Melissa Ford, Stefan Haselwimmer, Simon Healy, Megan Hickerson,Nicola Higgins, Marie Mller, Elina Screen, and Tristan Squire. The final words of thanks, however, must be reserved for the following: to RogerFogg, for believing in me from the start, and to my mum and brothers (John and Bob) for their love and support.
