Exploring the invention of printing, this book challenges the claims that the Dutch city of Harlem was the birthplace of this revolutionary technology. Instead, the author argues that Johannes Gutenberg, a German goldsmith, is the true inventor, having first developed the printing press in the city of Strasbourg around the year 1440. The author meticulously examines historical documents and evidence to support this claim and dismisses the competing narrative of a Dutch inventor named Laurence Coster as a historical fabrication. This book offers a detailed and well-researched account of the invention of printing and is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of this transformative technology.
