John Gutenberg, First Master Printer: His Acts and Most Remarkable Discourses and his Death
This podcast presents a brief sketch of the final years of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable type printing press. Set in Mainz, it follows Gutenberg as he lives in poverty, surrounded by both enemies and friends, and explores why he did not achieve the wealth one might expect. The work was prepared by volunteers at Distributed Proofreaders to celebrate the 50,000th book published at Project Gutenberg, completed within two days for their 15th anniversary.
