THE GUTENBERG BIBLE: THE DAWN OF THE INFORMATION AGE The Gutenberg Bible represents the Dawn of the Information Age. Daniel Farber Huang participated in a private viewing of this 1455 Gutenberg Bible at the Princeton University’s Firestone Library on May 4, 2012, where he created these photographs. The Gutenberg Bible was the earliest major book printed using mass-produced movable metal type in Europe. It marked the start of the "Gutenberg Revolution" and the age of printed books in the West. The book is valued and revered for its high aesthetic and artistic qualities as well as its historic significance. It is an edition of the Latin Vulgate printed in the 1450s by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz, in present-day Germany. Forty-nine copies (or substantial portions of copies) have survived. They are thought to be among the world's most valuable books, although no complete copy has been sold since 1978. In March 1455, the future Pope Pius II wrote that he had seen pages from the Gutenberg Bible displayed in Frankfurt to promote the edition, and that either 158 or 180 copies had been printed (he cited sources for both numbers). This 1455 Gutenberg Bible was gifted to Princeton University's Firestone Library in 2015 by the Scheide Family. The Bible had been housed within the Firestone Library since 1959, when William H. Scheide moved the collection from his hometown of Titusville, Pennsylvania.
