The article highlights the historical context surrounding the publication of the Bible by Johannes Gutenberg, a pivotal moment in the history of printing. Gutenberg, the son of a Mainz tavern owner, had a reputation for creativity and innovation, which led to explorations beyond his family's traditional roles in coin minting. According to records from the 15th century, by 1439, while residing in Strasbourg, Gutenberg was investing his resources into a novel venture: the production of polished metal mirrors that were believed to capture blessed light from relics, coinciding with a planned display of Charlemagne's relics at Aachen Cathedral. However, significant flooding of the Rhine disrupted his plans, leading to financial challenges for Gutenberg.
