Humphrey Moseley

Humphrey Moseley (died 31 January 1661) was a prominent London publisher and bookseller in the middle seventeenth century.

Possibly a son of publisher Samuel Moseley, Humphrey Moseley became a "freeman" (a full member) of the Stationers Company, the guild of London booksellers, on 7 May 1627; he was selected a Warden of the Company on 7 July 1659. His shop was located at the sign of the Prince's Arms in St. Paul's Churchyard. One of the most productive publishers of his era, Moseley's imprint exists on 314 surviving books.
