By Jan Hendrik Hessels

Book Overview

The book ""Gutenberg: Was He The Inventor Of Printing? An Historical Investigation Embodying A Criticism On Dr. Van Der Linde�������s Gutenberg"" by Jan Hendrik Hessels is a historical investigation into the life and work of Johannes Gutenberg, the man often credited with inventing printing with movable type. The book critically examines the research of Dr. Van Der Linde, who argued that Gutenberg was not the sole inventor of printing, but rather a member of a team of craftsmen who worked together to develop the technology. Hessels delves into the historical record to provide evidence for his argument that Gutenberg was indeed the inventor of printing, and explores the various factors that contributed to his success. The book is a comprehensive and detailed study of Gutenberg and his impact on the history of printing, and will be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of printing history, as well as those interested in the history of technology and innovation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
