Symson [Simson], Church of Scotland minister and printer, who on relinquishing his ministry after the re-establishment of presbyterianism, moved to Edinburgh where he set up a printing house in the Cowgate. Acknowledging that books were 'my delight, my heart, worth nectar and ambrosia', he claimed in 1696 that surrounded 'with walls of books on all sides, I dwell safe as in a fortress' (Symson, Octupla, preface). Upon death and following the publication of a catalogue entitled Bibliotheca Symsoniana, his collection of over 4000 books was sold by lottery and auction. See ODNB.
