A Media Revolution: The Gutenberg Bible

The famous Gutenberg Bible - the crown jewel of printed books - is Europe's first substantial book that was printed using movable metal type. A true work of art, this book's majestic craftsmanship has never been surpassed. The present 13 continuous leaves comprise the complete Book of Joshua from a copy of the first printed edition of the Latin Bible from 1454. They constitute the largest fragment from the Gutenberg Bible in private hands. Learn more: guenther-rareb...
