EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a priceless piece of history - a Bible made in the printing house of typographers Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer in Mainz, Germany, back in 1462. The image showcases the open book with its intricate details and beautifully preserved pages. This remarkable artifact is currently housed at the Biblioteca Estense in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Considered one of the first printed books ever created, this Bible holds immense significance not only for its religious content but also for its historical importance. It represents a pivotal moment in human civilization when Johannes Gutenberg's revolutionary invention of movable type brought about a new era of mass communication. The craftsmanship evident within these pages is awe-inspiring. Each letter meticulously arranged by hand reveals the dedication and skill employed by Fust and Schoeffer to bring this sacred text to life through their printing press. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to the fifteenth century - an era known as the Middle Ages or medieval period. It serves as a tangible reminder of our collective past and reminds us how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography allows us to appreciate every detail captured within this image while highlighting its cultural significance. Through her lens, she invites us to marvel at this extraordinary relic that continues to inspire generations with its timeless message.
