Johannes Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany, some time around 1397. Little is know about his
early years, but it is clear that he was the right
man, in the right place at the right time.
Gutenberg was the right man be-cause of his familiarity with the craft of the goldsmith and the di-emaker. He was in the right place because Mainz was a cultural and commercial center. It was the right time because the Renaissance thirst for knowledge was creating a growing market for books that could not be satisfied with the tra-ditional handwritten manuscripts.
Handwritten manuscripts were made to order and were usually expensive. They were laboriously copied by scribes who had either to read from a manuscript or
have it read to them while copying. This process was not only time-consuming, but led to many errors, which had cor-rected. Adding to the expense was the
scarcity and high cost of vellum and parchment. As a result, handwritten
manuscripts were limited to a select few: clergymen, scholars, and wealthy
individuals.

idly, and, after printing, the type could be cleaned and reused.

The most significant event of the cen-turyand one that dramatically affected the course of historywas Johannes Gutenbergs invention of printing from individual pieces of cast type. The suc-cess of Gutenbergs press was phenom-enal. It is estimated that by the end of the century more than a thousand printing shops were operating in more than two hundred centers, and that 40,000 editions, or 10 to 20 million books, had been printeda total that represents more books than had ever been produced before Guten-bergs time.
Johannes Gutenberg was born in Mainz, Germany, some time around 1397. Little is know about his early years, but it is clear that he was the right man, in the right place at the right time.
Guten-berg was the right man because of his familiar-ity with the craft of the goldsmith and the diemaker. He was in the right place because Mainz was a cultural and com-mercial center. It was the right time because the
Renaissance thirst for knowledge was creating a growing market for books that could not be satisfied with the traditional handwritten manuscripts.
Handwritten manuscripts were made to order and were usually expensive. They were laboriously copied by scribes who had either to read from a manuscript or have it read to them while copy-ing. This process was not only time-consuming, but led to many errors, which had corrected. Adding to the expense was the scarcity and high cost of vellum and parch-ment. As a result, handwritten manu-scripts were limited to a select few: clergy-men, scholars, and wealthy individuals.
A relatively inex-pensive means of producing multiple copies of books seems to have been developed just a little before Guten-berg began his experiments with printing. This was the so called block book whose pages had illustrations and minimal text cut together on the same block.
The carved blocks were inked, and images were transferred onto paper

Printing in Germany
Gutenberg oversaw the completion of
the job or gained any financial rewards
for his efforts.
After the judgement, it is believed that
Gutenberg set up another shop and continued printing books and
other materi-als for another ten years. In 1465, he received a gener-ous pen-sion from the local archbish-op but died three years later. According to an early
source, he was buried in the Franciscan
church at Mainz
After Fust
and Schoeffer took over Guten-
bergs shop, the first book they printed
and published was the Mainz Psalter
of 1457. This psalter was notable for
a number of reasons: it was the first
book with a colophon showing the
printers name, location, date of pub-
lication, and printers mark or device.
It was also the first book in which the
display initials were printed in color
rather than painted by hand. The part-
ners printed a number of important
books, two of which were the Latin Bible
of 1462 and a Cicero of 1465.
in multiples by rubbing or by the use
of the screw press. Block books were
believed to have been made for semilit-
erate, preaching friars who brought the
word of God to the urban working class
and the poor.
Gutenbergs genius was real-izing that print-ing would be more efficient if, instead of using a single wood-block to print an entire page, the individual letters were cast as separate blocks and then assembled into pages. In this manner, pages could be made up faster, errors could be corrected
more rapidly, and, after printing, the
type could be cleaned and reused.
Using his knowledge of die making,
Gutenberg created several pieces of
type, not in wood but in metal. It
was this process of printing from cast
type and not the process of printing
per sewhich already existedthat
was Gutenbergs great contribu-
tion to the graphic arts. Technically
speaking, Gutenbergs invention,
the letterpress, was so well conceived that it remained the dominant printing process for almost five hundred years.
With his chief assistant, Peter Schoeffer, and his financial backer, Johann Fust, Gutenberg was now ready to set up shop and embark on great master-piece, the forty-two-line Bible, so called because its columns were forty-two lines long. It is a great irony that just before the pub-lication of the forty-two-line Bible around 1455, Guten-berg seems to have lost control of his establish-ment for the nonpayment of his debt to Fust. The operation was then taken over by Fust and Schoeffer and unfortunately, there is no evidence as to whether
