We must hearken back to the eloquence of his achievements themselves would we learn much of the man,]obn Gutenberg. For there survive
but meager high/lights of a turbulent career. Born just before the dawn of the Fifteenth Century, presumably in Mainz; the exile of a local
political flurry ofthe time; inventor of an ingenious method of polishing stones; the Victim on two occasions ofimpatient and grasping partners;
the ultimate conqueror of the manifold problems of producing books by means of movable types; the recipient of honors and a pension that
acknowledged his genius; died on February 24, [4.68 —such,in epitome, is the life of the great inventor. But there exist a few precious volumes
to declare him artist,artisan and engineer. He conceived boldly,wrought hardily and inspired those about him. And while it be that no surviving
work bears his name, yet ever on the tongue of all civilization shall endure the name ofjohn Gutenberg,inventor of “typography, of all the
other arts the preserver." [The page shown is from the Book of Numbers; the "nu" is on the verso, and the "mHBI" on the recto page.]

???? lee'ïcertairi of the rare clam-ants, the-existence- ofthe "ut’enherg Bible Was _
forecastedlong before the first copyWasdiscoveted in’ the library of. the '
' " eminent Cardinal Mazarin. So ithas been named thel??M)azarin,” and some;
‘ times the " forty/two line’ ’ Bible. Call; it a, curiosity, if you wfll, this replica u f

page from the first printed Bible —- and perhaps the first book printed from, '  ‘

movable types. Or revere it as a souvenir of that mighty invention that

swept civilization into accelerated stride. Or marvel at the noble format and

the maj esty of margin and the deathless black of an ink that dried on the page

forty years before Columbus wandered westward—just as how and arrow

and arquebus launched in England the Wars of the Roses! But open your

eyes wider, gaze into the perspective of the dim years and appraise it as a well; "

nigh superhuman achievement of one inspired man. For the original of this

- page,so‘ faithfully reproduced by the cunning of the engraver as to the black

of the type and the colored accents of the illuminator,represents more: than

the simple application of a single invention that it was inevitable someone

should hit upon in that Fifteenth Century.The conception was the flash of

a moment; to dress it in tangibilitywas the labor of a round ten years! John

Gutenberg displayed a prodigiousresourcefulness in applying his new prin/

ciple. He supervised the design of letters and the cutting of counter/punches ~ _ f. ._

_ and punches. He devised a casting method. A satisfactory type alloywasper/ : ï
feéted, after what failures we can but guess. A worthy paper was selected and '
an ink of new viscosity evolved. The difficulty of holding the type in rigid
block was met; there was even no precedent for so simple a thingas printing

on both sides of the same sheet! And it was his patience and resolution and
vision that guided the hands of those stolid workmen who assisted. And the

result, this Mazarin Bible I - no apologetic makeshift of an initiatory period,

but a glorious triumph of full perfection worthy of emulation in these easier
modern days. John Gutenberg sired the art of printing; it sprang from him
lusty and full grown as has no other art or craft or process in all of history!
