Gutenberg's moveable type Mold
Johannes Gutenberg (how he supposedly looked)
The Gutenberg Bible, Johannes Gutenberg, 1450s
-Johannes Gutenburg, was an engineer, merchant and intellectual
-The Gutenburg Bible was the first book published, and was created using a one pull press
-books were originally hand copied by scribes and were very expensive because of this, and there were mistakes on occasion
-church and universities were very interested in mass producing and spreading certain ideas
-the Gutenburg press was based off the wine press
- Gutenburg chose a secluded place near water to work on his ideas, partially to keep away from competitors and partially to mass produce movable type.
-The type faces were made from a punch, which was copied in copper and molded with molten lead
-Gutenburg started to create his own paper once he realized how expensive vellum was.
