GUTENBERG GENZFLJAJSH JOHANN. DEATH DATE

As to date of death of Johann Gutenberg the case has absolutely precisely helped to establish it. In 1913 registrar Ferdinand Rot on pages ' Konfessiala ', printed about 1475, has found out the following record: ' In 1468, in day of sacred Vlasija respectable master Henne Ginsfljajs favour of Bozhiej ' has died. The book Location in which record has been made, since 1916 is not known. However Ferdinand Rot has had time to publish the facsimile of record, doubts in which authenticity historians do not express.

The inventor of publishing in church of St. Frantsiska in Mainz Is buried. In the end of XV century its relative, humanist Adam Geltus, has built a gravestone which, unfortunately, has not remained over a tomb.

Within 350 years the technology and the equipment invented by Johann Gutenberg, were out of competition. In ' to the Cologne chronicle ', made by Johann Kelhofom in 1499, under date of creation by Gutenberg of the Bible it is written down: ' Year from Christmas of our Lord, people written down MCCCCL - gold year: there was a first book, printing image forced, the Bible in Latin large letters at last printed '. Gutenberg's invention has made the book easy in manufacturing and, hence, accessible and cheap.

According to academician V.I.Vernadsky, until then scientists had to undertake ' extraordinary efforts … to receive the necessary data: far, it is frequent for years lasting travel, difficult otyskivanija the people having the manuscripts or recipes … the Human person had no possibility to protect, at least a little, the thought from disappearance to extend it widely - to a city and the world - to wait adverse time and to keep it till the best times. Eternally and constantly all was created and again collapsed noxious influence vserazrushajushchego time '. With the advent of publishing all has changed. The original epoch of education and art of book business has begun - only for the first 50 years of publishing the mankind has received books more than for hundreds years before. Nowadays we do not imagine a life of a modern society without books. Our civilisation is based on a printing word - Johann Gutenberg's child, the Third, information revolution which contemporaries we are, - natural result of centuries-old development of publishing which sources have an ingenious invention of the master from Mainz.
