Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library

 This week we visited Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. There I was able to see so many diffrent books, all of which are old and ancient. 


Bellow is the Gutenberg Bible, one out of 21 the first printed book, in German. Before the invention of the printing press, all books were hand writen and the bible was also in latin. After the printing press was inveted the bible would be printed out in german and aother laungeges. These events would inderictly lead to the protostant reformation and the 30 years war.
