Online Gutenberg Bible

Now, I’m no big fan of Christianity, but I am a fan of history, and the printed word. We all remember who Gutenberg was, right? No, not STEVE Gutenberg, but
the famous German man who invented moveable type, right? Good, well, a couple of places have put their copies of the Gutenberg online.

Here is the British copy.

And here is a copy of it in Germany

Hey all. Let’s not forget that right here in our very own humble city Gutenberg is visiting. The Louisville Free Public Library downtown branch is hosting an exhibit that includes sample of printed word from some early Gutenberg press pieces up until modern times. Also in the exhibit is a model Gutenberg press with a real live pressman, and samples of pre-press text. For more info check out http://www.lfpl.org
