Gutenberg, Johann Gensfleish (1397? - 1468) - He is considered the inventor of the mobile characters
for the press - the Typography. He was born in Mainz (German) in a prosperous family. He, his father and his
uncle worked in the mint of the archbishop of Mainz; perhaps there he learned the art of precision in iron
works. In 1428 Gutenberg travelled to Strasbourg were he tried to print with the mobile characters and here he
divulged his idea. In this city, probably in 1442, he printed the first copy in the original printing press - a piece
of paper with eleven lines.
Back to Mainz, in 1450 he met Joann Fust, a rich men that lend him on interest some money. With this money
and a new partner, the melter Peter Schoffer, Gutenberg began printing in 1450 the famous "forty four lines
Bible". As far as we know he was printing almost 300 sheets every day! Experts recognise that the bible, that
contains 641 pages, was printed in ten parts. Later in 1455, caused by different interets and debts the society
was solved by the law: to Fust was attributed all Gutenberg business that includes the mobile types, the
printings press and the Bibles already completed. |  |
