Note 80 — Early Typography. CHAPTER III. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Authorities differ in respect to Gutenberg’s age, the year of his birth not having been precisely ascertained. It is broadly stated by Wetter, that he was born between the years 1393 and 1400. He must therefore have been at least 68 years of age, and he may have been 75, at the time of his death.
