I ran across this press yesterday and thought I'd mention it here. Does anyone know anything further about it? They seem to have published from the 60's at least through the 80's, and maybe since then, but I don't know if they're still around. They have two interesting series: Courtenay Studies in Reformation Theology and Courtenay Library of Reformation Classics. Below is a piecemeal bibliography that I've scraped together. SRT stands for the first series and LRC for the second.
John Calvin, ed. Gervase E. Duffield (SRT 1, 1966)
[published through Eerdmans? also see here for 1970]
Richard L. Greaves, John Bunyan, (SRT 2, 1969)
[published in Grand Rapids? (perhaps Eerdmans again?)]
Elizabeth Armstrong, Robert Estienne, Royal Printer: An Historical Study of the Elder Stephanus (SRT 6, 1986)
The Work of William Tyndale, Gervase Duffield ed., Courtenay Library of Reformation Classics, (LRC 1, 1964)
Common places of Martin Bucer, ed. David F. Wright (LRC 4, 1972)
The life, early letters & eucharistic writings of Peter Martyr, eds. J.C. McLelland & G.E. Duffield, (LRC 5, 1989)
[the date or numbering may be wrong here, unless this is a reprint or this volume was done out of schedule]
A catechism set forth by Thomas Cranmer : from the Nuremberg Catechism translated into Latin by Justus Jonas, ed. D. G. Selwyn (LRC 6, 1978)
The Works of John Frith, ed. N.T. Wright (LRC 7, 1978)
The work of John Marbeck, ed. R.A. Leaver, (LRC 9, 1978)
Puritans in politics: the religious legislation of the Long Parliament 1640-1647, ed. George Yule (LRC 13, 1978)
The work of Archbishop John Williams, ed. Barrie Williams (LRC 14, 1981)
The work of William Barlowe : including Bishop Barlowe's Dialogue on the Lutheran factions, ed. Andrew M. McLean, (LRC 15, 1981)
Happy hunting! The Calvin volume (SRT 1) appears to be by far the most cited from the press, so that may be easier to find. The John Bunyan volume (SRT 2) also seems to pop up a good bit.
Evan,
ReplyDeleteI've found this information, which seems current as of 1988:
Sutton Courtenay Press, c/o Appleford, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 4PB, United Kingdom
This address also shows up on Eden.co.uk as Appleford Publishing Group in Appleford House, tel 01235 848 319. No web site that I can locate. But they do offer a summer bookbinding course that may appeal to some: http://www.reading.ac.uk/Careers/jobs/info.asp?id=10658. I might apply myself as I hold a British passport and a UK National Insurance Number!
They have also republished significant editions of William Perkins' works.
I also recommend Dust and Ashes Publications (www.dustandashes.com).
Blessings,
