First of Printed Books.

Although neither Caxton nor other of
early printers included any part of the
holy scriptures among their produc-
tons, it is a noteworthy fact that the
Bible was the first printed book in the
world, being, moreover, the master
piece of the illustrious inventor of the
art of printing, Johann Gensfleisch Won
Sulzebach, surnamed ZlUn Gutenberg,
having associated himself with Johann
Faust of Mentz, produced with his as
sistance, in 1450-55 (the book is I'M
dated) the famous folio Latin Bible
commonly known as the Mazarin Bible.
the first copy having been discovered
in the library of Cardinal Mazarin.
The expense of this production was so
great that Gutenberg was unable to re-
pay his partner the money that he had
advanced, and was obliged to resign
TO him the whole of his printing estab-
lishment and plant, with which Faust,
in partnership with Peter Schoeffer,
printed the equally famous Mentz Psal-
ter in 1857. BY the testimony of auc-
ton prices these are the two most val
liable books in the world.
