Excerpt from Some Account of the Oxford University Press: 1468-1921 He first book printed at Oxford is the very rare Commentary on the Apostles Creed attributed to St. Jerome, the colophon of which is dated 17 December, Anno domini Mcccclxviij. It is improbable that a book was printed at Oxford so early as r 48;and the bibliographers are on various grounds agreed that an x has been omitted. If so, Oxford must be content to date the beginning of its Press from the year 1478; while Westminster, its only English precursor, produced its first book from Caxton's press in 1477. The first printer was Theodoric Rood, who came to England from Cologne, and looked after the Press until about 1485; soon after which dace the first Press came to an end.
