John Windet

John Windet (fl 1584–1611)[1] was an English printer, notable for his music publications.

After 1591, Wolfe ceased printing the lucrative metrical psalter of Thomas Sternhold and John Hopkins, and Windet succeeded him in becoming the sole printer of the work for patent-holder Richard Day.

[4] In 1604, Windet printed John Dowland's influential Lachrimae, or Seaven Teares, a collection of the composer's pavans and one of the most important musical works of the era.

[5] Windet's other music publications included printings for Robert Jones, John Coprario and Thomas Ford.

[7] Windet helped Stansby print his first book, The Policy of the Turkish Empire in April 1597.
