    In this video, Antonio Berlingieri discusses Johannes Gutenberg, a key figure in the development of modern printing. Born in Mainz in the 1400s, Gutenberg revolutionized printing by introducing movable type made of metal, replacing the less durable wooden blocks used in earlier printing methods. This innovation allowed for the assembly of letters to create text, making printing more efficient and versatile. In 1455, Gutenberg, along with engraver Peter Schaffer, printed a limited edition of 180 copies of the 42-line Bible, which consisted of two volumes and approximately 1,200 pages. The high-quality typography of this sacred text garnered significant acclaim. However, due to financial difficulties, Gutenberg's printing society dissolved, and although he continued his work, none of his subsequent projects matched the excellence of the 42-line Bible. Gutenberg's contributions also included the use of oil-based ink and a printing press originally designed for wine production, marking the beginning of an industrial printing process.
