[Sca-cooks] moveable type

[Carole Smith]

Bear,
 
Is there any indication in your reading of how Gutenberg learned of moveable type?

Gutenberg's claim to fame really isn't moveable type. It's die cast metal 
type with a standardized typeface.

Just to clarify, Gutenberg is often given credit for moveable type, but it 
was in use a half century earlier in Korea. Also, there is some debate as 
to whether Laurens Janzoon Koster (Holland) or Parnfilo Castaldi (Italy) 
were using moveable type before Gutenberg.
