Richard Pynson (1448–1529) was an English printer who contributed to the standardization of the English language and introduced Roman type to English printing (which until this time had employed only variations of Gothic type). He printed around 500 books, many of them law texts and devotional works, including this selection from the anonymous poem that recounts the origins of England’s most famous shrine to Our Lady — renowned throughout the world until Henry VIII destroyed it in 1538 during the English Protestant Revolt.
