Gutenberg Bible 1-30-16

            On display in the New York City Public Library is a Gutenberg Bible.  

Considered to be a critical milestone of human civilization, Gutenberg Bibles were printed in 1454 or 1455.   They were the first major books mass produced using a movable type printing press.  Previously, book production was done by slow and laborious hand copying.

On a strange note, a representation of this book was in the 2004 science fiction movie "The Day After Tomorrow."  Finding refuge in the NYC Public Library during a modern Ice Age, one actor clutched a replica of this Bible to prevent the other survivors from burning it for warmth.  

In New York City, on 1-30-16.
