Centuries-old Gutenberg Bibles online for the first time
Two historical Gutenberg Bibles are available online in their entirety for the first time. After months of digitization, the works can now be browsed in the online portal "Gutenberg Capture" of the Johannes Gutenberg University, the Gutenberg Museum announced on Monday in Mainz.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen A good 2,000 pages were scanned using a high-performance machine. The Gutenberg Bibles date from the 1453/54 edition, Kathpress reported.
The volumes can therefore be downloaded from the Internet as a complete file and as individual pages - or the Bible text can be searched online for words.
The two Mainz Bibles are two of a total of 49 surviving books worldwide - although most of them are not accessible to a wider public. Until now, the Mainz volumes could only be admired in a specially secured treasure chamber in the museum.
