The book is devoted to one of the key events in the development of European civilization - the invention of printing - and the man with whose name this discovery is inextricably linked - Johann Gutenberg. The method of printing in movable types with the help of a printing press made the possibility of disseminating information and knowledge more accessible, and later was ranked among the most important discoveries of the millennium. Not much is known about Gutenberg’s life, especially since for a long time he was considered an apprentice to the “true creators of printing.” Peter Schaeffer and Johann Fusta. The author of the book deeply analyzes the known facts of the inventor’s life, the vicissitudes of his biography, makes very interesting conclusions about the causes of the actions of both Gutenberg and his rivals. The reader is exposed to many details related to the printing presses, fonts and publications of Gutenberg and other typographers of the time.
The book will be interesting to book historians, media historians, philologists, culturologists, as well as a wide range.
