Description |
Johannes Gutenberg was the inventor of the first printing press of its kind which swept across Europe and subsequently the world as one of the most efficient purveyors of the written word. Gutenberg's press made the written word, and the Word of God, more accessible to the masses than ever before. The Bibles printed by Gutenberg are among some of the most coveted books on Earth.
This facsimile shows what the Gutenberg Bible looks like with its impressive calligraphy and illuminations. |
