What happened with Johannes Gutenberg on 14 August, 1457

14 August, 1457

The Mainz Psalter, printed by Johann Fust and Peter Schöffer, was the first book to bear the printer's name and date of publication. This was a significant event in the history of printing, as it marked a departure from the anonymity of earlier printed works and established a precedent for identifying the producers of printed materials. Ironically, it did not mention Gutenberg, despite him being the inventor of the technology that made its production possible.
