| | Edmund Coote's English School-maister (1596) |
 | | Because the 1596 edition is the only one to appear in his lifetime, textual variants have not been collected from the later extant reprints, which appear to have begun in 1614. |
 | | On June 5, 1596, Coote was elected head-master of the Free Grammar School of King Edward VI of Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, following the resignation of John Wright, M.A., who had held the position for more than twelve years (Danielsson 1960, 232-3, 239-240; Page, 2: 316). |
 | | It was entered into the Stationers' Register by Robert Dexter and Raffe [Ralph] Jackson on December 18, 1596, as "The Englishe Scholemaister, teachinge all his schollers of what age soeuer the most easie short and perfect order of distinct readinge and true writinge our Englishe tonge" (the opening of the title page, verbatim). |
