– The same idea (From the types of mobile phone – the editor’s note) It was very innovative, because it allowed you to print many identical copies of a book in a very short time. The use of mobile phone types allowed the spread of printing technology in Europe, and therefore this innovation from Juan Gothenburg is a great progress. However, it is important to consider that In the fifteenth Europe, you wanted to print pictures, printing and printing books, but not with the types of mobile devices The exhibition commissioner, Marin Bogosz, confirms, in an interview with Eurono.
The Biblia De Guteenberg from the Dish Museum de Bille It is one of the most valuable and interesting folders that are preserved in the world. In 1502, she was donated by Nicholas Kyrabitz, bishop of Warm, to Deir Franciscan, which was renewed in Lubaf, where she remained until the nineteenth century. After this monastery was dissolved, the book went to the Pelplin School Library.
The value of the copy is determined not only by being one of the first Mainz printer.
– In addition to being a full version in two volumes, the version was almost completed With regard to pages. Only the last letter of the second volume is missing, and therefore, the end of the world. “It also maintains the original link of the fifteenth century,” the conservatives say.
next to, The book is unique in the failure of a small technical impressionOn one of the pages of the first volume, on the margin, The source of the source is reflectedIt must have fallen from his support. Consequently, the researchers obtained an invaluable source of knowledge about the printer workshop at that time, and the printers were also named.

Work care
Anxiety about the uniqueness of work, the Bible’s Bible’s display requires a cautious. Stoker climbing bullet Maintains the appropriate conditions for the work: a temperature of about 20 to 23 ° C and relative humidity is less than 45-55 %.
As a result, this sensitive substrate, which is a paper, is well and does not suffer. ”Marsen Bugusz, the exhibition commissioner, is summarized in an interview with Eurono.
Restrictions also apply to how to shed light on work. The Bible cannot be exposed to more than sixty days a year, with a little artificial light and away from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, which is dangerous for antiquities.
Pages rich in handwritten elements are especially sensitive to light. All these requirements, thanks to the efforts of conservatives from art, allow the preservation of future generations a unique memorial to European culture.
Walking through the culture of writing and books
The Bible is accompanied by a march dedicated to the culture of low scribes and printed book. Walking will take visitors along a path of painted and sculptural books,People who read or write, inscriptions of different forms and functions.
Many pictures of people with hand -sponsor programs and engravings in the Middle Ages paint causes one to realize the importance of books at that time.
The effect of the new means that was new at the time also shows. Former teachers were very fond of the inscriptions to create their own books.
