Gutenberg interest, 1425. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Beautiful German Bible manuscript leaf on vellum, circa 1425. This is a classic example of the scribal writing (in Textura/Gothic) which Gutenberg used as the basis for the type that he created for the first printed book in 1455. This is a particularly lovely example, written in a large Gothic hand, double column, one 2-line initial in red and blue with elaborate 15-line tracery in the margin; one 6-line initial in red and blue with tracery. From Judges. This vellum leaf came from the typography collection of RR Donnelley, the great Chicago printing firm. The leaf is beautifully presented in a sturdy black paper mount and the leaf is fully viewable from both sides. This manuscript leaf looks very much like a printed Gutenberg leaf, right down to the black, red and blue inking used in that most famous book. Delightful.
