Joseph Barnes, the printer, was admitted a bookseller at Oxford, on September 8th, 1573. He was licensed to sell wine from October, 1575 to, at least, October, 1596. He was sole printer to the University from 1585 to 1617; he resigned on February 12th, 1616—1617, and died in 1618. He was buried in St. Mary’s church on December 17th, 1618.
