Cooper Square Gutenberg Bible: Revelation
GUTENBERG BIBLE: This title page from the Book of Revelation
(apocalypse), was printed by Cooper Square Publishers of New York, NY.
The Gutenberg Bible project was started in the year 1956, and completed in the year 1961. They
duplicated all of Johann Gutenberg's processes, and the results were
facsimiles exact to the original … from the inks to the cotton rag
paper. Sources for this edition were Gutenberg Bibles from the Berlin
Staatsbibliothek and the Fulda Landesbibliothek. I usually display this
page along with the title page to Genesis. The Gutenberg Bible was
printed between the years 1450 and 1455. There are only 20 known
complete copies in the world today. God Bless You -- Today and Every
Day! *AND* Remember to love others, just as Jesus Christ loves YOU!
