The Invention of Printing

Note 255 — XXI

Reading edition

This is known as the Bamberg Bible, because nearly all the known copies of this edition were found in the neighborhood of the town of Bamberg; as Pfister’s Bible, because it has been attributed, incorrectly, to Albert Pfister, a printer of Bamberg; as the Schelhorn Bible, because it was fully described by the bibliographer of that name; as Gutenberg’s Second Bible, because it is the belief of many authors that it should have been printed by Gutenberg about 1459, after his rupture with John Fust.
