▪ I. stationer1|ˈsteɪʃənə(r)|
Also 4 statiner, 5 stacyener, stacyonere, 5–6 stacioner, 6 stacyoner.
[ad. L. statiōnārius (see stationary), in med.L. used subst. for a tradesman (chiefly, a bookseller) who has a station or shop, as distinguished from an itinerant vendor. Cf. early Sp. estacionario bookseller, It. † stazioniere shopkeeper.
The direct adoption of the Latin word is accounted for by the fact that in the Middle Ages booksellers with a regular ‘station’ or shop were rare except at the universities; the typical example of such a trader was the stationarius licensed and controlled by the academic authorities, whom he was sworn to obey.]
1.
†a. A bookseller; in wider sense, one engaged in any of the trades connected with books (cf. quot. 1625). Obs.
† flying stationer, running stationer: see the ppl. adjs.

d. A tradesman who sells writing materials and similar articles. Cf. law-stationer.
The sale of parchment, paper, pens, ink, etc. was originally a regular branch of the business of the ‘stationer’ or bookseller. The restriction of the term stationer to the dealer in these articles is first evidenced in quot. 1656; it had probably been in vogue in accurate mercantile parlance some time before, but was not established in ordinary use until the 18th century. Phillips (ed. Kersey 1706) s.v. Stationers, has the term paper-stationer.
1656Blount Glossogr., Stationer..is often confounded with Book-seller, and sometimes with Book-binder; whereas they are three several Trades; the Stationer sells Paper and Paper-Books, Ink, Wax, etc. The Book-seller deals onely in printed Books, ready bound; and the Book-binder binds them, but sells not. Yet all three are of the Company of Stationers. 1755Johnson, Stationer,..2. A seller of paper. 1796Pegge Anonym.

f. the Company of Stationers (or the Stationers' Company): one of the Livery Companies of the City of London, founded in 1556, comprising booksellers, printers, bookbinders, and dealers in writing materials, etc. Stationers' Hall: the hall of the Stationer's Company, at which a register of copyrights is kept. (The Copyright Act of 1842 provided that no action for breach of copyright could be brought unless the work had been entered in this register. The Copyright Act of 1911 abolished this rule.)
The charter of 1556 (ed. 1741, p. 6) is thus worded: ‘Volumus, damus, et concedimus..Thomæ Dockwray..[names of the Wardens and Freemen] Liberis Hominibus Misteræ sive Artis Stationarii Civitatis Nostre Londinensis..quod de cetero sint..Unum Corpus de se in perpetuum [etc]’.
