Johann Gutenberg

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Jump to: navigation, search

Johann Gutenberg was a Human of German descent, credited with the invention of the printing press in the 15th century. On 23 February 1455 he started mass-production of the Gutenberg Bible, the first mass-produced book on Earth.

In 2269, during a visit to Holberg 917G, Captain Kirk of the Federation starship USS Enterprise and First Officer Spock discovered a Gutenberg Bible in the large art collection of the immortal Flint. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")

It was not clear if Gutenberg was simply an individual Flint met, or if he was indeed a previous alias possessed by Flint.

Berlinghoff Rasmussen compared being close to Data to examining a rare Gutenberg bible. (TNG: "A Matter of Time")
