HISTORY/DESCRIPTION: JOHANN GUTENBERG WAS BORN IN MAINZ, GERMANY, AROUND 1400.
HE WAS THE SON OF AN ARISTOCRATIC FAMILY, WITH TIES TO THE LOCAL METALWORKING
INDUSTRY. HE LIVED IN STRASBOURG (IN PRESENT-DAY FRANCE) FOR A TIME, WHERE HE
CARRIED OUT EXPERIMENTS WITH MOVABLE METALLIC TYPE, MADE FROM A MOLD. BY THE
MID-1450'S HE HAD PERFECTED A SYSTEM OF PRINTING WITH MOVABLE TYPE. HE USED IT
TO CREATE WHAT BECAME THE WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS BOOK, THE LATIN TRANSLATION OF THE
BIBLE (VULGATE), OTHERWISE KNOWN AS, THE GUTENBERG BIBLE. SCHOLARS HAVE
THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED ALL ASPECTS OF GUTENBERG’S WORK, INCLUDING THE ELABORATE
TYPEFACE, WITH ITS 290 DIFFERENT CHARACTERS DERIVED FROM A GOTHIC MISSAL SCRIPT.
THE WAY HE DIVIDED THE TEXT IN THE TYPESETTING PROCESS, AND THE PAPER HE USED IN
THE PRINTING HAVE ALSO BEEN THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED. HOWEVER, CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL
MATTERS ABOUT THE GUTENBERG BIBLE ARE STILL UNKNOWN, OR REMAIN MATTERS OF
DISPUTE.

THE DATE ON WHICH THE PRINTING WAS COMPLETED IS BASED SOLELY ON THE NOTATION
“1455” ON THE BINDING OF THE PARIS PAPER COPY. IT IS BELIEVED THAT 180 COPIES OF
THE BIBLE WERE PRINTED, BUT THIS INFORMATION IS BASED ON A SINGLE LETTER OF ENEA
SILVIO PICCOLOMINI (THE FUTURE POPE PIUS II), WHO VIEWED SAMPLES OF GUTENBERG’S
WORK, IN FRANKFURT IN 1455. GUTENBERG ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO PRINT THE HEADINGS
OF THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE IN RED, BUT HE ABANDONED THIS APPROACH, USING INSTEAD
A SEPARATELY PRINTED TABLE AS A PATTERN, FOR ENTERING THESE LINES BY HAND. OF
THE 49 EXTANT, MORE-OR-LESS COMPLETE, COPIES OF THE GUTENBERG BIBLE (12 ON
VELLUM, 37 ON PAPER), THIS COPY, FROM THE BAVARIAN STATE LIBRARY, IS ONE OF ONLY
TWO (ALONG WITH ONE COPY IN THE AUSTRIAN NATIONAL LIBRARY) IN WHICH THIS TABLE
IS FOUND, AS A VESTIGE OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS.


REPRODUCTION DETAILS: OUR HARDCOVER BOOKS ARE MADE WITH REAL WOOD FOR THE
INTERIOR OF THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS AS WELL AS THE SPINE. THE LEATHER IS A 4
OZ COWHIDE, FROM A SMALL SUPPLIER IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE LEATHER IS ADHERED TO
THE COVERS WITH GLUE AND MOLDED INTO THE SHAPE AT THE HAND OF OUR LOCAL
ARTISANS. THE SIGNATURES/PAGES ARE HANDSEWN USING A LIBRARY BINDING METHOD. THE
SEWN BOOK IS BOUND WITH A STRONG ADHESIVE GLUE THAT MAKES THE BINDINGS LAST,
ESPECIALLY FOR THE LARGER BOOKS. WE ALSO ADD A THICK MULL CLOTH TO THE OUTSIDE
OF THE BINDING, DRYING IN BETWEEN EACH LAYER, A TRADITIONAL WAY TO MAKE THE
BINDING STIFF, STRONG, AND RESILIENT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.

NOTE: ALL OF OUR FACSIMILES ARE MADE TO ORDER. PLEASE ALLOW 4-6 WEEKS FOR
NOTIFICATION OF SHIPMENT.
