1430, Moving Out


Johannes Gutenberg begins his blog by establishing with his audience the birth place of his inventive self, and comments on the early trials.

Success of the Printing Press, in the First Person


 The time has come and I have decided to uproot my life in Mainz, to move forward in life and work on something bigger than myself. I have found settlement in Strasburg; the old city is epicenter to an ancient building once occupied by monks, long before my time. I was fortunate to come across a room that required only a tad cleaning, I now inhabit as my work shop. I eagerly hope to advance swiftly towards a printing break through.
