Abstract

The Gutenberg Bible' is widely recognized as Europes first printed book, a book that forever changed the world. However, despite its initial impact, fame was fleeting: for the better part of three centuries the Bible was virtually forgotten; only after two centuries of tenacious and contentious scholarship did it attain its iconic status as a monument of human invention. Editio princeps: 'a history of the Gutenberg Bible' is the first book to tell the whole story of Europe's first printed edition, describing its creation at Mainz circa 1455, its impact on fifteenth-century life and religion, its fall into oblivion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its rediscovery and rise to worldwide fame during the centuries thereafter. This comprehensive study examines the forty-nine surviving Gutenberg Bibles, and fragments of at least fourteen others, in the chronological order in which they came to light. Combining close analysis of material clues within the Bibles themselves with fresh documentary discoveries, the book reconstructs the history of each copy in unprecedented depth, from its earliest known context through every change of ownership up to the present day. Along the way it introduces the colorful cast of proud possessors, crafty booksellers, observant travelers, and scholarly librarians who shaped our understanding of Europe's first printed book. Bringing the 'biographies' of all the Gutenberg Bibles together for the first time, this richly illustrated study contextualizes both the historic cultural impact of the editio princeps and its transformation into a world treasure.

Abstract

Les grandes phases de transformation des sociétés s'accompagnent de transformations parallèles dans les systèmes de communication sociale - ce que nous appelons les médias. La première " révolution des médias " est, en Occident, celle de l'invention de l'imprimerie par Gutenberg, au milieu du XVe siècle. Cet ouvrage montre comment l'accroissement des besoins en documents écrits fait s'engager, dès les XIIe et XIIIe siècles, des logiques de changement qui culmineront avec Gutenberg. Le XVe siècle est le " temps des start-up " : des capitalistes investissent dans la recherche-développement pour mettre au point et exploiter des techniques innovantes, parmi lesquelles l'imprimerie. Puis sont évoqués les principaux traits de cette première révolution des médias " : essor de la technique, organisation du champ littéraire moderne, développement de la surveillance et de la censure et invention du processus même de la médiatisation. Cette relecture de la révolution gutenbergienne permet non seulement de mieux comprendre un certain nombre de problèmes relatifs à l'histoire culturelle du monde occidental, mais elle introduit aussi à de nombreuses comparaisons avec les phénomènes les plus contemporains.
