This work discusses the beginnings of the art of printing, exploring its origins, the innovations it brought to literature and communication, and its significance in society. Villeneuve focuses particularly on elucidating the contributions of early printers such as Johannes Gutenberg, weaving in anecdotes and claims from various regions that sought to claim the invention of this revolutionary technique.  The book details Villeneuve's dedication to King John V of Portugal, presenting the new typefaces he created for the Royal Academy of Portuguese History. Throughout the text, he engages in a scholarly examination of the competing claims surrounding who invented printing, notably contrasting figures from Holland and Germany. The narrative unfolds in a manner that highlights the pivotal shift that printing technology caused in the dissemination of knowledge, comparing its impact to that of written language itself. Villeneuve underscores both the practical and cultural implications of printing, predicting its profound influence on education and the preservation of history for generations to come.
