	Gutenberg Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gutenberg Bible (also known as the 42-line Bible, and as the Mazarin Bible) is a print of the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible that was printed by its namesake, Johann Gutenberg, in Mainz, Germany.
		It is believed that about 180 copies of the Bible were produced, 45 on vellum and 135 on paper, a number which boggled minds in societies which, from time immemorial, had to produce copies of written works laboriously by hand.
		Gutenberg produced these Bibles (which were printed, then rubricated and illuminated by hand), over a period of three years, the time it would have taken to produce one copy in a Scriptorium.

	Discovery Channel :: News :: Gutenberg Printing Method Questioned
		Presenting his findings in a mock trial of Gutenberg at the recent Festival of Science in Genoa, Bruno Fabbiani, an expert in printing who teaches at Turin Polytechnic, said the 15th-century German printer used stamps rather than the movable type he is said to have invented between 1452 and 1455.
		With this method, Gutenberg is said to have printed an edition of about 180 copies — of which only 48 exist today — of the 42-line bible, so called for the number of lines in each printed column.
		Eva Hanebutt-Benz, director of the Gutenberg Museum in the German town of Mainz, where Gutenberg was born, told reporters that there are "many open questions" on how Gutenberg produced the Bible as no documents exist from the printer's workshop.

	Inventor Johannes Gutenberg Biography
		Of Johannes Gutenberg's father, Friele Gänsfleisch, we know only that he was married in 1386 to Else Wyrich, daughter of a burgher of Mainz, Werner Wyrich zum steinern Krame (at the sign of the pottery shop), and that he died in 1419, his wife dying in 1433.
		The trades which Gutenberg taught his pupils and associates, Andreas Dritzehn, Hans Riffe, and Andreas Heilmann, included gem-polishing, the manufacture of looking-glasses and the art of printing, as we learn from the records of a lawsuit between Gutenberg and the Dritzehn brothers Georg and Klaus.
		Gutenberg, who had initially trained as a goldsmith, was to devise a means of producing metal type in sufficient quantities at a reasonable cost.

	NPR : Digitizing the Gutenberg Bible
		Gutenberg is credited with inventing a system of moveable type that ultimately allowed for the quick and efficient printing of books -- making them inexpensive enough for the common man to purchase and read in the comfort of his own home.
		Ironically, copies of the Gutenberg Bible that have survived the ages are now too precious for all but the most privileged and select to handle.
		Needham says letters that were long thought to have been made from pieces of type punched from the same mold lacked a degree of consistency you would expect -- and may in fact have been created using a more complex and less efficient method.

		The height of Gutenberg’s art of printing is considered to be the 42-line bible (B42).
		The 2-volume bible with a total of 1,282 pages was created with the help of a staff of 20.

		It is alternately known as the "42-line Bible," for the number of lines of type in a column, or the "Mazarin Bible," for the seventeenth-century French cardinal who owned a fine copy.
		Although the work was printed, Gutenberg adhered aesthetically to accepted manuscript formats: types were modeled after local manuscript hands, spelling, punctuation, and abbreviations drawn directly from the medieval manuscript tradition, and hand-illumined initials and capitals were commissioned from Guild illustrators.
		Despite the nascent interest in home Bible study, Gutenberg adhered to the cumbersome folio format, realizing that to market the mass-produced Bible, his work must be comparable to the manuscripts produced by the scriptoria.

	Gutenberg to Gates: The Birth of Printing
		Johannes Gutenberg, born in Mainz in 1398, succeeded in developing all the basic essentials of printing through his experiments in the 1440s and 1450s, and in 1455 or 1456, printed the famous Bible that now bears his name.
		Gutenberg appears to have solved the problem of the proper ink to use for printing, since the letter forms are as crisp and clear as they were more than 500 years ago.
		These characteristics made it the most popular Bible in England for at least three generations, which is reflected in the fact that 140 editions were printed between 1560 and 1640.

		What we know about Gutenberg is little: he was born about 1400; died 1467 or 1468 at Mainz; and was a goldsmith's guild member.
		And the Bible is still a fascinating glimpse into ancient superstition and, by modern standards, childish naïveté coupled with unabashed brutality.
		The Bible itself is not one book, but a collection of 66 books — the word "bible" is a plural diminutive of biblos, (Greek τα βιβλια) meaning "the little books" — written, or edited and compiled, in different areas of the world, by wholly different, and mostly unknown, persons, in different times and languages.
