A propos de cet article

10 x 7 inches. hardcover, sewn. 672 pages. From Jikji to Gutenberg: The Origins of Book Printing from Moveable Metal Type represents a preliminary investigation into the birth of metal type and the first books printed from it in both the Eastern and the Western hemispheres. Whether the page you are reading is ink on paper or pixels on a screen, the global origins that led to these technological communications have impacted us all. When asked who was first book printer, people in the West usually answer Johannes Gutenberg, who printed the Gutenberg Bible in Mainz, Germany, in about 1454/55. And while his beautiful 42-line Bible is an incredible masterwork and a milestone among Western achievements, most grade-school children in South Korea can tell you that the Buddhist text, commonly referred to as Jikji, was printed from moveable metal type by monks in July 1377! (Jikji, short for Baegun hwasang chorok buljo jikji simche yojeol [Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests Zen Teachings], was printed in the Heungdeok-sa temple in Cheongju. In 2001, in recognition of this technological achievement, UNESCO inscribed both Jikji (the oldest extant East Asian book printed with metal type) and Gutenberg's 42-line Bible on its Memory of the World International Register. In order to tell the origin story of these books, in 2020, the From Jikji to Gutenberg Project was formed, and after six years of discussion and collaboration, the 33 essays in this book by a group of international scholars are offered as an introductory assessment of the surviving evidence surrounding humanity's shared aspiration to print and publish books. The book is edited by Randy Silverman, Head of Preservation, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah, and Cathleen A. Baker, retired University of Michigan Library Paper and Book Conservator, scholar/author and book-arts practitioner, as well as proprietor of The Legacy Press. Silverman was instrumental in securing funding to support the work of the Project, which in addition to this book, as the 650th anniversary of the publication of Jikji approaches, will include an online exhibit designed to summarize the Projects scholarship for a broad, nontechnical audience, as well as an illustrated childrens book to encourage young readers to experience new and fantastic worlds, and to introduce them to the joys of scholarly investigation and craft practices.
