The Gutenberg Bible | Martin Davies

#OnThisDay (possibly, exact date is debated) in 1455, Johannes Gutenberg published a Bible, and changed the Western world (Chinese artisans had been pressing ink into paper since the 2nd century A.D). Gutenberg likely made no money from the approximately 180 copies originally printed, and only 49 survive to this day. But the technological advancement it represented is one that we Littens celebrate every day! #HistoryGetsLIT

LeahBergen I find everything about the Gutenberg bibles so fascinating and thoroughly enjoyed this book:

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 253 #bookstoread #tbrpile #bookstagram

LeahBergen This is a good read! 👍🏻 3y

LeahBergen @Centique It‘s such a fascinating read! 4y

CarolynM I went to the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz a few years ago. It's fascinating. Have you been there? 4y

LeahBergen @CarolynM I have! It was so cool. I bought this bookmark there and the teeny plastic bust of Gutenberg in the previous post. 😆😆 Oh, and paper napkins printed with a sheet of a Gutenberg Bible to use for my book club meetings. 😆 4y
