Book Synopsis Justification of Johann Gutenberg by : Blake Morrison
Download or read book Justification of Johann Gutenberg written by Blake Morrison and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-05-14 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 1400, in the city of Mainz, a man was born whose heretical invention was to change history. Some sixty years later he died — robbed of his business, his printing presses, and, so he thought, his immortality. In his dazzling first novel, Morrison gives us Gutenberg’s “testament” — his justification, dictated to one of the young scribes his invention will soon put out of work. Thus Morrison conjures up the haunting figure of Gutenberg himself: a man who gambled everything — money, honour, friendship and a woman’s love — on the greatest invention of the last millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blake Morrison has woven a stunning novel around the few facts known about the life and work of Johann Gensfleisch (aka Gutenberg), master printer, charmer, con man, and visionary -- the man who invented "artificial writing" and printed the Gutenberg Bible, putting thousands of monks out of work. In this dazzling debut novel, Morrison gives Gutenberg's final testament: a justification and apologia he dictated, ironically, to one of the young scribes made obsolete by his invention of movable metal type. Through the eyes of the aging narrator, we see the Middle Ages in a strange new light and witness a moment of cultural transition as dramatic as the communications revolution of today.

Download or read book Gutenberg written by J. H. Hessels and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE best and most critical account of the History of Printing with movable type. Every document connected with the History of the Invention of Printing has been verified by the energetic and intelligent author. The mystery still remains — who was the inventor of Printing? That Gutenberg was an early printer Mr. Hessels fully admits. Only 200 copies were originally printed for sale. Mr. J. H. Hessels, the translator of Van der Linde's "Coster Legend," commenced a series of articles about two years ago in the London Printing Times, under the title of "Gutenberg: Was He the Inventor of Printing?" being a review of a more recent work by the same author entitled "Gutenberg." The articles came to a sudden termination, the writer finding it necessary to consult various documents abroad in order to arrive at certain facts. The long silence which intervened has at, last been broken by the appearance of a handsome volume, now before us, in which Mr. Hessels has endeavoured to clear up the mystery so long surrounding the identity of the first printer — and in order to this he paid two visits to Paris and spent seven weeks in Germany exploring the libraries and archives of Strassburg, Mentz, and other prominent cities. While it is impossible to resuscitate the corpse of the mythical Holland proto-typographer Coster, the result of Mr. Hessels' researches do not justify him in giving Gutenberg the credit of inventing the art, but only establishing the fact of his being a printer — and he regrets that after all his labours be must leave the quest on which he started yet unsolved, summarizing the result of his investigation in the following statement :"As early as (Nov. 16) 1454 two printers were at work at Mentz; the name of one of them may have been Johann Gutenberg; (perhaps subsidized by Johann Fust), but it is not stated anywhere; the name of the other is, in all probability, Peter (Schoeffer) de Gernssheym. That the latter did not consider himself to have been the first, or even the chief, printer (of Mentz), seems sufficiently clear from what we may call his own statement, in the imprint of the Justinianus of 24 May, 1468, in which he speaks of two Johannes. One of these Johannes must have been Johann Fust; who was the other? Everybody says Gutenberg, and I am in no position to contradict it." * * * * * "A very complete account is given of several books from the press of the Brothers of Common Life, not heretofore described; and a photograph of a page of an Eltville book, the type of which has never been before noticed. "Mr. Hessels' volume is one of great value to whoever may hereafter follow in his wake, and a real acquisition to the history of printing. The work is elegantly produced by Bernard Quaritch, consisting of xxvii, 201 pages, octavo, printed on hand-made paper, Roxburghe binding—only 200 copies printed for sale." —The Quadrat, Pittsburgh, U.S.A., June, 1882. * * * * * "Everyone interested in the early history of printing must read Mr. Hessels' book itself. It is both destructive and constructive: much of the ground upon which the claim for Gutenberg was raised, is cleared away, but still nothing is discovered that actually destroys that claim. In his work of destruction Mr. Hessels has constructed a solid foundation of bibliographical fact for others to follow up by further researches." —The Bibliographer, August, 1882.

Book Synopsis Conversion and the Rehabilitation of the Penal System by : Andrew Skotnicki
Download or read book Conversion and the Rehabilitation of the Penal System written by Andrew Skotnicki and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cincinnati Penal Congress of 1870 ushered in the era of "progressive" penology: the use of statistical and social scientific methodologies, commitment to psychiatric and therapeutic interventions, and a new innovation--the reformatory--as the locus for the application of these initiatives. The prisoner was now seen as a specimen to be analyzed, treated, and properly socialized into the triumphal current of American social and economic life. The Progressive rehabilitative initiatives succumbed in the 1970s to withering criticism from the proponents of equally futile strategies for addressing "the crime problem": retribution, deterrence, and selective incapacitation. The early Christian community developed a methodology for correcting human error that featured the unprecedented belief that a period of time spent in a given penitential locale, with the aid and encouragement of the community, was sufficient in and of itself to heal the alienation and self-loathing caused by sin and to lead an individual to full reincorporation into the community. The "correctional" practice was based upon the conviction that cooperative sociability--or conversion--is possible, regardless of the specific offense, without any need to inflict suffering, or to use the act of punishment as a warning to potential offenders, or to undertake programmatic interventions into the lives of the incarcerated for the purpose of rehabilitating them. Andrew Skotnicki contends that the modern practice of criminal detention is a protracted exercise in needless violence predicated upon two foundational errors. The first is an inability to see the imprisoned as human beings fully capable of responding to an affirmative accompaniment rather than maltreatment and invasive forms of therapy. The second is a pervasive dualism that constructs a barrier between detainees and those empowered to supervise, rehabilitate, and punish them. In this book, Skotnicki argues that the criminal justice system can only be rehabilitated by eliminating punishment and policies based upon deterrence, rehabilitation, and the incapacitation of the urban poor and returning to the original justification for the practice of confinement: conversion.
