The term ‘stationery’ originally referred to a wide range of goods sold by a stationery merchant, reflecting the diversity of items available. From cut paper to continuous-form paper, from writing tools to office items, the variety of stationery is both intriguing and extensive. It includes materials that can be written by hand, such as letter paper and those that can be printed by machines, like computer printers.
During the Middle Ages, peddlers played a significant role in the sale of stationery, often setting up their stalls near universities, creating a historical connection to the present.
Scholars often preferred to seek books from stationers’ shops instead of university libraries due to the more comprehensive selection available.
