Gutenberg Catholicon leaf, circa 1460?

Label text: Some precious printed lines from Gutenberg's Catholicon. At the very dawn of printing the Catholicon was printed by John Gutenberg in his shop at Mainz, Germany in 1459 or 1460, about the dame time as he was completing his great bible in the same shop. The Catholicon, a Latin grammar and encyclopedia, was the first non-religious book ever printed. The type was one-third the size of that used in the Gutenberg Bible. Gift of John Marsh, Berea '54.
