John Charlewood : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Charlewood John Charlewood (died 1593) was an English printer. ==Life== He went into business early in Mary's reign in partnership with John Tisdale, in Holborn. He was important as one of the first printer to print Italian works in England - the other being John Wolfe, who printed at roughly the same time as Charlewood. He was a member of the Grocers' Company until about 1574, though he took out licences to print books. From 1562 to 1593 he printed continuously and issued a very large number of books. His address was the Half-Eagle and Key in the Barbican, and in one of the Marprelate tracts it is stated that as printer to the Earl of Arundel he had a press in the Charterhouse. He was known to be one of the ring-leaders of the gang of printers who printed pirated copies of texts to which they had no rights. His widow married James Roberts, who thus succeeded to the business. A fictitious foreign imprint of Venice helped the sales in England of a book in a foreign language. Charlewood obviously hoped that this stratagem would provide easier and increased sales for these books, which would allow the printing of a larger and more profitable edition. His hopes were apparently not realised since none of them were reprinted in Italian in Great Britain until modern times.
