  • That's not the Book of Kells. It's the Lindisfarne Gospels.

  • History aside, I love the visual progression (or regression.) :) The text layout of many (too many) books is boring now. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. (Get rid of the bad.)

  • Lies, he put the real calligraphers out of business right away and hired specialized Captialistic Letterers & Miniature artists to enhance his books which were printed in a style of print that duplicated a specific calligraphy hand. The other two professions lived on for about a hundred years before they too were killed off.

    Furthermore, Gutenberg did not invent printing or the printing press. He stole the technology from the Chinese and simply made it into something he could sell.
