內容簡介
內容簡介 【完全復刻版】一本改變世界的書籍《1454年‧古騰堡聖經》古騰堡聖經為西方第一本以「活字排版印刷」製成的書籍，於1454年在德國美茵茲印刷出版。在此革命性的聖經出版之前，只有亞洲人會使用木製的雕版印刷。當時歐洲尚未有相關的知識和技術，因此每本書籍，都需要靠長時間的手抄及大量的人力，才得以完成。由於當時書籍流通緩慢、知識被社會特定的權貴所壟斷，因此造成社會階級無法流動的情況。1454年，古騰堡創先例，開始使用「金屬製」的活字字母來排版。從此便可在不犧牲品質的狀況下、縮短印刷時間，迅速大量生產。對於當時的人們而言，古騰堡聖經的意義，就好比現代網路的誕生。對於人類的傳播方式，是全面性的改變。這種印刷方式讓書籍突破地域及時間上的限制，因此對教育帶來很大的衝擊。而由於知識取得變得方便、開啟了知識分配的新紀元，後來更間接改變國家和宗教的結構。此劃時代的聖經，是由「大眾傳播之父」約翰尼斯‧古騰堡命名。當時一共印了180本，目前只有49本存世，其中21本被完整保存。因此書排版、字體、印刷之精美，已成為人類重要的文化遺產，因此被聯合國列為「世界記憶計劃: 世界記憶名錄」之一。在古騰堡逝世後550年的今天，德國著名藝術書籍出版社TASCHEN決定將此聖經完整復刻出版。整套書除了有兩大本共1282頁、以拉丁文撰寫的聖經之外，還另附一本導讀本。此系列無論是宗教、歷史、或是藝術上，都屬頂級，相當值得珍藏！備註：兩大本復刻聖經為拉丁文；導讀本為英文 ▲整套聖經復刻原版：分為兩冊，共1282頁。另加一本導讀本，以及一個套書紙盒▲聖經以拉丁文撰寫而成▲如同當時的聖經，內頁有許多裝飾繪畫▲繪畫本身，就是一種獨特的藝術▲在電腦會自動排版的現今，很難想像當時人們必須一行一行的整理算計，才能印出對齊平整的版面▲書封材質特殊；書背還有崁入的拉丁字母排列。是語言、歷史迷必收經典！▲導讀本(英文)除了記錄書籍形成過程和藝術價值，還有古騰堡生平的介紹▲今年是古騰堡逝世550年，我們以閱讀的方式紀念他。The Book That Changed the World A complete reprint of the revolutionary Gutenberg BibleThe printing press has been called the greatest invention of the second millennium. Published in Mainz around 1454, the Gutenberg Bible was the first major Western publication to be printed with movable metal type, ushering in a whole new age of knowledge distribution through mass-produced books.Before Gutenberg, woodcut printing and early forms of movable type printing had been mastered in Asia, but had not reached Europe. Instead, every book produced in Europe had to be copied by hand in a long, labor-intensive process. With Gutenberg’s innovation of mechanical movable type, it became possible to significantly speed up production without sacrificing quality. Gutenberg’s invention radically enriched public knowledge, pioneering mass communication and allowing people to access ideas, and participate in discussions, like never before. When it comes to radical revolutions in public education, the Gutenberg Bible is comparable to the Internet.This complete Gutenberg Bible reprint derives from one of the very few surviving complete vellum edition worldwide; the Göttingen Library edition, which is consequently one of the most valuable books in the world and has also been listed in the UNESCO Memory of the World program. All 1,282 pages of this artistic and technological masterwork are included, along with a companion book written by Stephan Füssel, Gutenberg-Chair at Mainz University, introducing Gutenberg and his transformative influence, as well as two important documents of the time: the Göttingen Model Book which was used to illuminate the Göttingen Library edition and the only surviving notary document by Ulrich Helmasperger, which records the history of this unique invention and its product, the Gutenberg Bible.
