John Gutenberg, First Master Printer: His Acts and Most Remarkable Discourses and his Death

John Gutenberg, First Master Printer: His Acts and Most Remarkable Discourses and his Death, written by Franz von Dingelstedt, provides a brief account of Johannes Gutenberg's later years. It explores his life in poverty in Mayence, detailing his relationships with friends and enemies, and examines the reasons behind his financial struggles despite his invention of the movable type printing press. This work was completed in a short timeframe by volunteers at Distributed Proofreaders to celebrate a milestone for Project Gutenberg.
