Edmund Weaver (publisher)

Edmund Weaver was a draper and a bookseller in London in the 17th century.

Edmund Weaver was an apprentice to Thomas Wight and was 'clothed' in 1607 and became master of the Worshipful Company of Drapers in 1637. He was married to Jane Weaver, who died on 29 August 1636. He was appointed a Commissioner of Hereford by an act of parliament in 1648.

Weaver had many important books printed so he could sell them in his shop near St. Paul's Church in London. He published Robert Cawdrey's book, A Table Alphabeticall in 1604. A Table Alphabeticall was the first monolingual dictionary in the English language. Weaver went on to publish 3 subsequent editions of A Table Alphabeticall as well.
