Metal, Paper, Ink: Early Printing from Jikji to Gutenberg

Newberry Library · Near North Side

About This Event

The real, less-Eurocentric version of print history: Korea's Jikji, printed with movable metal type in 1377, seven decades before Gutenberg's Bible. A genuinely global reframing of a story most people only ever hear the German half of.
