John Urry, 1666-1715, was born in Dublin, but graduated B.A. from Christ Church, Oxford in 1686. When a new edition of Chaucer was
projected in 1711, Urry was selected to undertake the work, and on July 1714 he obtained a patent for the exclusive right
of printing Chaucer’s works for fourteen years. Urry died in 1715 and the work was carried on by Thomas Ainsworth, who died
in 1719; the final revision and publication was then undertaken by Timothy Thomas. This is the first edition of Chaucer’s
works printed in roman letter.
