Gutenberg Bible
The Gutenberg Bible is one of the earliest mass-produced books in human history. Our Genesis cover design reproduces an illuminated page created by German artist Gisela Maschmann, which the artist has modelled after the beginning of the Book of Genesis in Gutenberg’s ecclesiastic masterwork.
Gutenberg’s invention made it possible to replicate the work of scribes who for generations had meticulously copied texts by hand. After being printed, pages were embellished by artists who painted marvellous creations alongside the type, combining illustrations and the printed word in exquisite form. The Gutenberg Bible is one of the earliest mass-produced books in human history. While only 49 copies of the two-volume Latin Bible survive today, it continues to inspire artists and writers alike.
