(ca. 1400–February 3, 1468)
Credited with the invention of printing with movable
metal type, Johann Gutenberg probably learned metal-
working from his father’s family who worked for the
archbishop’s mint. Gutenberg lived in Strasbourg from
about 1428 to 1448, when he returned to Mainz where
he had been born. There, he produced the Gutenberg
Bible, the fi rst major printed book. He died in Mainz
on February 3, 1468.
Gutenberg’s historical signifi cance arises from his
role in the development of printing. Records of lawsuits
during his residence in Strasbourg point to his early ex-
periments with the craft. The heirs of one of his partners,
for example, sued to be included in the partnership.GUITTONE D’AREZZO
