Charting Gutenberg’s life from his youth in Mainz to his final years and lasting legacy, Stephan Füssel – one of Europe’s leading experts on Gutenberg – brings together authoritative scholarship and historical detail to illuminate the life of this fascinating figure. 

Johannes Gutenberg (c. 1400-1468) is widely heralded as one of the most influential men of the last millennium. His invention, a printing press with mechanical moving type, had an unprecedented impact on the political and cultural history of Europe and beyond. But despite his significance, a rigorous and accessible biography has not been published in English – until now.

Charting Gutenberg’s life from his youth in Mainz to his final years and lasting legacy, Stephan Füssel – one of Europe’s leading experts on Gutenberg – brings together authoritative scholarship and historical detail to illuminate the life of this fascinating figure. This short biography contains everything you need to know about the man who changed the printed word, and the world, forever.
