		Although Caxton cannot be called one of the greatest craftsman-printers, much is owed to him for his influence in creating a fixed form of the English language.
		Originally Caxton worked as a translator and a copyist, and when his work became fairly successful Caxton turned to the new invention of printing as a release from monotonous copying.
		Caxton was already a prosperous mercer, a dealer in textiles, in the city of Bruges when he was introduced to the trade that would make him famous.

	Etherington & Roberts. Dictionary--Caxton, William (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Caxton was born in Kent, possibly in the village of Tenderton, traveled to London in 1438 and became apprenticed to the merchant Robert Large, who was also Lord Mayor of London.
		Regardless of what some critics may say of Caxton's lack of scholarship and education, his place in history is deserved more because of his ability as a linguist and editor, than as a printer and publisher.
		It is thought that Caxton probably brought his bookbinding tools from Bruges upon his return to England, because two of his stamps are very similar to those used on books found contemporaneously in the city.

		Caxton and SMC effectively controlled the supply of April notes available to both the "cash market" (where purchases and sales occur) and the "financing market" (where persons with leveraged long positions, such as the defendant entities, borrow money in order to buy or to continue to hold an issue).
		Caxton is the real party in interest related to the $12,500,000.00 of defendant property it owns and controls.

	Malory Caxton Vinaver
		William Caxton published the first edition of Malory's work, which Caxton titled "Le Morte Darthur," in 1485, in the same month in which Henry Tudor invaded to defeat Richard III and claim the throne, and five or six years after the author's last explicit indicates he finished the manuscript (726).
		Due to the presence of offsets of wet ink from Caxton's edition on several leaves of the Winchester MS, we believe Caxton had that MS in his print shop in addition to the manuscript he worked from.
		We know the manuscript was in Caxton's print shop during the period when the edition was printed, though it was not the "copy text" Caxton followed--ink smudges on the manuscript, under microscopic analysis, proved to be offsets of freshly printed pages set in Caxton's distinctive type font.

		The printed editions which followed Caxton all used his text, the last of these being issued in 1634.
		One of the places where Winchester differs most radically from Caxton is in the account of Arthur's war with the Roman emperor Lucius.
		The point here is not to argue that any one version is better or worse than the other, but rather, to show how an awareness of the different forms a text takes affect how we read it-- and to make clear that the physical presentation of a text is part of a reader's total experience.
