Oxford’s university publishing history and identity.
- Oxford University Press — History and accolades
Oxford’s university publishing history and identity.
- Wikidata entity identity and cross-references
The entity identity and its recorded authority identifiers; not an independent authority-register validation.
- Oxford Academic — The journey so far
An OUP-published editorial uses 1586 as the institutional founding date.
What this check doesn’t establish
- A single founding date oversimplifies a multi-century history; 1586 is retained as a conventional institutional date, not the first Oxford printing.
- Moyle edition details require the work record.
- VIAF/ROR values were cross-checked against the Wikidata entity; the external authority registry itself was not independently inspected.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
Publisher of the Moyle translation of the Institutes, issued under the Clarendon Press imprint. Clarendon is recorded as an alias rather than a separate organisation, since the two are not independently meaningful for this collection.
