Edward Aggas

Edward Aggas was an English bookseller, printer, and translator. He was the son of Robert Aggas, of Stoke-near-Nayland, in Suffolk, and was apprenticed to Humphrey Toy, stationer and citizen of London. He was apprenticed for nine years, starting from Easter 1564, after which time he became freeman of the Stationers’ Company, or a full member of the guild which held the monopoly over the publishing industry. As a freeman Aggas himself took apprentices in 1577 and 1580. He published mostly theological works and translations from French, which were translated by Aggas himself.
