Priceless, 570-year-old Gutenberg Bible on display in Warsaw

The Bible, on display at the Medieval Art Gallery in Warsaw, was printed more than 570 years ago by Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. It is one of the few preserved copies in the world and the only one in Poland.

The Gutenberg Bible from the Diocesan Museum in Pelpin is one of the most valuable and interesting preserved volumes in the world. In 1502, it was donated by Nicolaus Crapitz, the bishop of Warmia, to the Franciscan Reformed Convent in Lubawa, where it stayed until the 19th century. After the dissolution of that convent, it was placed in the Library of the Seminary in Pelpli.  

Now, the priceless book, and one of the earliest works of the famed printer Gutenberg, is on show in Warsaw. Aside from being complete, with both of its volumes intact, its value stems from the fact that nearly all of its pages remain. It also possesses the original 15th-century binding.

Despite being printed several hundreds of years ago, the book has contributed to modern historical discoveries. It was thanks to a minor technical defect on one of the pages of the first volume that researchers were able to discover more about Gutenberg’s process. They determined that the mistake was made due to a shape in the font falling out of the mounting. Thus, new discoveries surrounding the movable type, arguably one of the most important inventions, were able to be made.  

“The idea itself [of movable type] was extremely innovative, because it allowed printing many identical copies of a book in a very short time. The use of movable type allowed the printing technique to be disseminated in Europe, which is why this innovation by Johannes Gutenberg is considered a great breakthrough. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that in 15th-century Europe, people were eager to print, print pictures, and print books, but not from movable type,” says Marcin Bogusz, curator of the exhibition.
