Greetings unto my fellow Ansteorrans,

I thought some of you on this list might be interested in this message
I saw on the Rialto. I wish I had known about this when I was up there
in the Steppes for the Kingdom Dance Symposium. I was staying with 
friends just a mile or two from there. Sigh.

Anyway, hopefully some of you will find this interesting and be able to
go.

Stefan

dozens

> incunabula, Gutenberg (a page), and a lot of others, some famous for
printing
> errors--the "Vinegar" Bible (a title reading "Parable of the Vinegar"
instead
> of "Vineyard"), the most famous being the "Wicked" Bible, which left out
> "not" in "Thou shalt not commit adultery," plus others. 
> Also included is a full-sized, wooden working model of Gutenberg's press,
and
> a docent who will actually print two pages as you stand there. The period
> "clothes line" drying line for the printed pages is clever and practical.
> If you ever wondered what Bibles were available prior to King James's

from

one
