Johann Gutenberg of Mainz, Germany is credited with developing the printing press with movable type, the greatest invention of the past millennium.<\/p>\n
The printing press in the Ink & Blood exhibit brings forward a more recent theory on how Gutenberg first printed. There are no descriptions, diagrams or drawings of any kind depicting printing before the year 1500. Most depictions are actually images of a 16th century press or later. What is presented in Ink & Blood is the theory that Gutenberg took an existing 15th century German wine press and converted it to the first printing press with movable type in the West. The Ink & Blood press actually pressed grapes before it was converted to print. On display this printing press is operated in live demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Gutenberg Bible Leaf (2)
\nPrinted by Johann Gutenberg, c.1397-1468
\n1453-1455
\nMainz, Germany<\/p>\n
From the large format Latin Bible and famed for being the earliest printed work in the West, Gutenberg\u2019s massive two volume Latin Bible, with a total of 1282 pages, was all but unknown until a copy was discovered in the library of Cardinal Jules Mazarine in 1760, hence it is often called the Mazarine Bible. Bibliographers will often refer to it as the 42 line Bible. Darlow and Moule note, “It is probably the first large book, if not the first considerable piece of printing executed in Europe with movable metal types.” For this Bible Gutenberg cast 290 different shapes. An illuminator and a columnist added the beautiful colorful initials and artwork later. In 1452, Gutenberg borrowed money to buy the 100,000 sheets of paper and 8,000 skins needed to print the 180 copies of this Bible. It is believed that 150 were printed on paper and 30 were printed on exquisite parchment. Forty-eight known complete or near complete copies remain in existence.<\/p>\n

William Tyndale New Testament<\/p>\n
William Tyndale New Testament
\nWilliam Tyndale New Testament
\nTyndale New Testament
\nWilliam Tyndale, 1494-1536
\n1536
\nAntwerp, Belgium<\/p>\n
In 1526, Tyndale translated Erasmus\u2019s third edition Greek New Testament into the first English New Testament from the original language. It is believed that 3,000 copies were printed, but only three copies have survived \u2013 one lacking only the title leaf is owned by the British Library; a complete copy including the title page was discovered in the 1990\u2019s in the Bibelsammlung at the Wuerttembergische Landesbibliothek in Stuttgart, Germany; and the copy in St. Paul\u2019s in London that lacks 71 pages. <\/p>\n
The 1536 Tyndale New Testament is the same wording and style of Tyndale\u2019s 1534 revision of his 1526 New Testament. However, there were three distinct quarto editions published in 1536 identifiable by three variations in a woodcut of St. Paul. The foot of the Apostle rests on a stone, which is blank in one edition. In another, it bears the figure of a mole or hedgehog, and in the third there is an engravers mark with the initials A.K.B. On display is the Blank Stone edition.<\/p>\n

Luther New Testament
\nMartin Luther, 1483-1546
\n1551
\nGermany<\/p>\n
Luther’s first edition of the New Testament is called the Septemberbibel or September New Testament because it was published September 21, 1522. The Luther New Testament shown is believed to be a rare first reprinting of Luther\u2019s September New Testament. It is not listed in Darlow and Moule\u2019s Historical Catalogue of the Printed Editions of Holy Scripture, and today only two copies are known to have survived, the one currently on display with Ink & Blood and another at Cambridge University.<\/p>\n
