Gutenberg’s Bible was duly published by Fust and Schoeffer, and sold before August 1456. It was a large book, designed to be read from a lectern. It had more than twelve hundred pages across its two volumes, laid out in forty-two-line double columns of black, blue, and red type, with fine illuminated letters here and there and occasional illustrations in the margins.2 It looked very much like a manuscript.
