* 1456 – The printing of the Gutenberg Bible is completed.

Around 1427, the name zu Gutenberg, after the family house in Mainz, is documented to have been used for the first time.

When the question of satisfying the investors came up, Gutenberg is said to have promised to share a " secret ".

It was in Strasbourg in 1440 that Gutenberg is said to have perfected and unveiled the secret of printing based on his research, mysteriously entitled Kunst und Aventur ( art and enterprise ).

By this date, Gutenberg may have been familiar with intaglio printing ; it is claimed that he had worked on copper engravings with an artist known as the Master of Playing Cards.

It is not clear when Gutenberg conceived the Bible project, but for this he borrowed another 800 guilders from Fust, and work commenced in 1452.

Between 1450 and 1455, Gutenberg printed several texts, some of which remain unidentified ; his texts did not bear the printer's name or date, so attribution is possible only from typographical evidence and external references.

Setting each page would take, perhaps, half a day, and considering all the work in loading the press, inking the type, pulling the impressions, hanging up the sheets, distributing the type, etc., it is thought that the Gutenberg – Fust shop might have employed as many as 25 craftsmen.

The 1544 Greek edition formed the basis of the 1732 English translation by William Whiston, which achieved enormous popularity in the English-speaking world ( and which is currently available online for free download via Project Gutenberg ).

However, the first securely dated book by Dutch printers is from 1471, long after Gutenberg.

Perhaps the strongest evidence in favor of Gutenberg is therefore that Mainz has in its possession today a first-edition of Erasmus ' Lof der Zotheid ( English translation: The Praise of Folly ), which was written in Gouda, but printed in Mainz in 1511.

Project Gutenberg ( PG ) is a volunteer effort to digitize and archive cultural works, to " encourage the creation and distribution of eBooks ".

Project Gutenberg is also closely affiliated with Distributed Proofreaders, an Internet-based community for proofreading scanned texts.

Project Gutenberg is now hosted by ibiblio at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Besides being copyright-free, the requirement for a Latin ( character set ) text version of the release has been a criterion of Michael Hart's since the founding of Project Gutenberg, as he believes this is the format most likely to be readable in the extended future.

Michael Hart said in 2004, " The mission of Project Gutenberg is simple: ' To encourage the creation and distribution of ebooks '".

Project Runeberg is an initiative patterned after Project Gutenberg that publishes freely available electronic versions of books significant to the culture and history of the Nordic countries.

Finally, the name is similar to " Gutenberg ".

For instance, it is commonly accepted now that the famous Gutenberg – Richter law decays more rapidly than a pure power-law tail because of a finite exponential cutoff in the upper tail.

Out of copyright, it is also available free for reading and download at Project Gutenberg and Google Books websites.

The rim of Gutenberg is worn and eroded, most notably in the east where it is broken by the overlapping crater Gutenberg E. This crater in turn has gaps in its southeast and southwest rims, forming a passage to the lunar mare to the east.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Gutenberg.

The range begins at the southwestern rim of the flooded crater Gutenberg at the northern end and extends southward bordering the eastern edge of Mare Nectaris.

It is located to the north of the crater Gutenberg, and south of Secchi.

It lies to the southeast of the lava-flooded crater Gutenberg, and north of Magelhaens.

To the west-southwest is the crater Gaudibert, across the Montes Pyrenaeus that run south from Gutenberg.

Just to the east is the Montes Pyrenaeus mountain chain, and to the northeast beyond the mountains is the crater Gutenberg.

It lies to the south-southwest of the crater Goclenius, about midway between Gutenberg to the northwest and Colombo to the southeast.

* Gutenberg ( crater ), a crater on the Moon

A similar rille lies across the floor of Gutenberg, and it is likely that these features were all formed at the same time, after the original craters were created.

The central rise of Gutenberg is a semi-circular range of hills that are the most prominent in the south, and the concave part lies open to the east.

Modern movable type, along with the mechanical printing press, was invented in mid-15th century Germany by the goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg.

Around 1450, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and independently developed a movable type system in Europe, along with innovations in casting the type based on a matrix and hand mould.

Items include a replica Gutenberg press ( on loan from The Tudors TV series ) and an original 1916 Proclamation ( on loan until 2016 ) along with a machine ( Wharfedale ) similar to the one it was printed on.

Though the World Wide Web was invented thirty years after The Gutenberg Galaxy was published, McLuhan may have coined and certainly popularized the usage of the term " surfing " to refer to rapid, irregular and multidirectional movement through a heterogeneous body of documents or knowledge, e. g., statements like " Heidegger surf-boards along on the electronic wave as triumphantly as Descartes rode the mechanical wave.

There have been numerous reprints and it is now available online at Project Gutenberg, along with a previous game book by Wells called Floor Games ( 1911 ).

It was written in 1840 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the invention of printing, along with the less-known Festgesang " Gutenberg Cantata ".

Older part of the Gutenberg Museum in the Zum Römischen Kaiser house, Mainz

The Gutenberg Museum is one of the oldest museums of printing in the world, located opposite the cathedral in the old part of Mainz, Germany.

The first part of the Gutenberg idea was using a single, hand-carved character to create identical copies of itself.

Copies left the Gutenberg workshop unbound, without decoration, and for the most part without rubrication.

The main body of the book, part 2, " The Gutenberg Galaxy ", consists of 107 short " chapters ",

The library of the Petit Château contains over 1300 manuscripts and 12, 500 printed volumes, including a Gutenberg Bible that is part of the collection of over 700 incunabula ), and some 200 medieval manuscripts, including one page of the Registrum Gregorii ( c. 983 ), the Les très riches heures du Duc de Berry, the Ingeborg Psalter and 40 miniatures from Jean Fouquet's Book of Hours of Etienne Chevalier.
