illustration is figure 1., «Text page from Die Nachtfeier der Venus. Printed by Officina Serpentis. 1919.», from «Tendencies in Geman Book-Printing since 1914» by dr hanna kiel [The Fleuron, no. iv, at the office of the fleuron, london, 1923, p81]. dr kiehl tells us: «The ‘Officina Serpentis’, established in 1911 by Tieffenbach [eduard wilhelm tieffenbach], is comparable to the Vale Press, being almost entirely a reflection of its founder’s personality. He is his own publisher, type-designer and printer. In contrast to other German book-artists, he has been influenced more by the Kelmscott Press than by the Doves. His own type is based upon that used for Schoeffer’s Bible …» [ibid., p75]. ‘schöffer’s bible’ refers to the first Latin Bible printed by fust & schöffer, mainz, 1462, which was set in types cut by peter schöffer: these types were a further essay of an earlier cut by schöffer and first shown in the fust & schöffer edition of durandus [Rationale Divinorum Officiorum, mainz, 1459]. [cf. harry carter, A View of Early Typography, at the clarendon press, oxford, 1969, p33.]  of the model for the durandus types a.f. johnson says: «The letter shares some Renaissance characteristics and others of the Middle Ages. Hence it has been called Fere-humanistica or Gotico-antiqua. … The hand is gothic but with considerable roman tendencies. It was the formal book-hand of the earlier Italian humanists of the fourteenth century, and in particular of Petrarch.» [a.f. johnson, Type Designs, grafton & co., london, 1959, p11].

Die englische Bibel, die aus Deutschland kam - Reformationstag 2023

Wenn Touristen in die rheinland-pfälzische Stadt Worms kommen, ist ein Besuch des sogenannten “Lutherdenkmals” natürlich ein “Muss”. Doch das als “Lutherdenkmal” bekannte Monument ist eigentlich kein Einzeldenkmal für den Wittenberger Reformator, sondern ein Denkmal für die Reformation und ihre herausragenden Persönlichkeiten schlechthin. Das größte Reformationsdenkmal der Welt zeigt neben…

The English Bible that came from Germany - Reformation Day 2023

When tourists come to the city of Worms in Rhineland-Palatinate, a visit to the so-called "Luther Monument" is of course a "must". But the monument known as the "Luther Monument" is actually not an individual monument to the German reformer from Wittenberg, but a monument to the Reformation and its outstanding personalities per se. In addition to the figure of Luther, the world's largest Reformation monument also features the figures of the Italian Reformers Peter Waldus and Girolamo Savonarola, the English Reformer John Wycliff and the Czech Reformer John Huss.

The "Luther Memorial" ("Reformation Memorial") at the Obermarkt in Worms/Rhineland-Palatine - Picture: Immanuel Giel - Eigenes Werk, Gemeinfrei, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10415428

Forgotten by the creators of the Worms Reformation Monument, however, were two very important figures in the history of the Reformation: the German Pre-Reformer Hans Denk (ca. 1500 - 1527) and the English Reformer William Tyndale (1494 - 1536). The work of these two men, who lived and worked in Worms for a time, would later achieve an international significance similar to that of Luther.

On the occasion of this year's Reformation Day, I would like to shine the spotlight on these two people:

"In Worms, Denck completed his best-known work, which he created together with Ludwig Hätzer: the Worms Prophets, named after the place where the first edition was printed. This is the first printed German translation of the prophetic books of the Old Testament according to the original Hebrew text. It was published on 13 April 1527 by the Worms printer Peter Schöffer the Younger and soon found wide circulation in numerous editions. The translators' motivation and objective were not only theological but also critical of power and society: against the background of the bloody suppression of the peasant uprisings in the Peasants' War and the incipient Anabaptist executions, the polemics of the Old Testament prophets against injustice and abuse of power took on a special topicality." (W) This makes Denk's translation of the Bible, which is unfortunately often forgotten, older than that of Martin Luther.

The second important figure sadly missing at the Worms Reformation Memorial is William Tyndale (1494 - 1536). Tyndale, an English tutor who had absorbed the teachings of the German Reformation, had to flee England in 1523 to escape persecution by the Roman Catholic Church and first found refuge in Wittenberg. There he translated the New Testament into English. Wittenberg thus became the starting point not only for the German Bible but also for the Bible in English, which later became the world language. This translation was then to be printed in Cologne in 1526. However, these efforts were betrayed and William Tyndale had to flee again. His next place of refuge was the small town of Worms on the Rhine, the place where Luther had delivered his remarkable defence speech before the Imperial Diet only a few years earlier. In this city, which can look back on a long Pre-Reformation history (see Hannes Denk), the New Testament was now also published in English. In the printing press of Peter Schöffer the Younger, 6000 copies of the New Testament were produced in English, which were then first brought across the Rhine to Belgium and from there smuggled to England and Scotland. In the course of persecution by the English government, Tyndal's translation was banned and most of the copies burned. Until now, only two copies were known to have escaped the book burning. It was only a few years ago that a third copy was discovered in the Landesbibliothek Stuttgart (click!).

"The Gospell off Sancte Jhon - The fyrst chapter" - Title of William Tyndales Bible Translation printed in Worms/Rhineland-Palatine by Peter Schöffer (Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=17912989)

The official Homepage of the City of Worms writes (translation mine):

"Unlike Wyclif, who had already translated the Bible into English about 150 years earlier, Tyndale's New Testament, like Luther's translation, is based on the original Greek text - not the Latin translation of the Church Father Jerome (Vulgate) authorised by the Catholic Church. Moreover, Wyclif did not yet have the printing press at his disposal to distribute his translation.

The Worms edition, like its Antwerp pirate print, was smuggled to England and found wide circulation among the people. The Church, with the support of Henry VIII, who at this time was not yet in conflict with Rome, pursued the possession of this printed edition of the Bible. On 8 May 2009, the City Library received a reproduction of William Tyndale's "New Testament" from a delegation from Worms' twin city St. Albans (Great Britain).

Most copies ended up at the stake in England - as did the translator himself in 1536, who had been imprisoned near Brussels in 1535 on the king's orders.

Only three copies of the New Testament have survived: One fragment is held by the library of St Paul's Cathedral in London, and an (almost) complete one was acquired by the British Library from the holdings of Bristol Baptist College in the late 1990s for over £1 million. The facsimile that was presented to the Worms City Library at the beginning of May 2009 is based on this copy.

Shortly after the spectacular purchase by the British Library, the third copy was rediscovered in the Württemberg State Library, which also includes the title page and is thus the only complete copy that has survived.

Since the printer is not named in the "New Testament", there are only two sure indications of its origin in Peter Schöffer's workshop: In his report to Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas More and Henry VIII about the ban on Tyndale's Bible printing in Cologne, Johannes Cochlaeus mentions that Tyndale had moved on to Worms with a companion. The Stuttgart title page provides another clue: Schöffer used the same woodcut title for two other prints from his workshop.

The location of the printing workshop of Schöffer, who was the first printer to work in Worms for only a few years (1518-1529), was previously unknown. According to the latest research, it can now be regarded as certain: Peter Schöffer the Younger's printing shop, where the New Testament was printed, was located in the Meielburg in the northern suburb at the Mainzer Tor (later location of the Eulenburg; today: location of the DRK Alten- und Pflegeheim / Seniorenzentrum Eulenburg on Mainzer Straße - Eulenburgstraße 2, 67547 Worms)."

100 Documents: Summa Theologica

Summa Theologica was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas (canonized in 1323).  It has 3,500 pages, and he died in 1274 before completing it.  It is perhaps the best explanation of the Christian faith, and is considered one of the most influential Western works of literature.

Thomas was born in 1225, in Roccasecca (near Rome), and grew up in Monte Cassino, the great Benedictine Abbey.  He studied at the University of Naples, and it was during this time that he joined the then-controversial new Dominican order.  His parents were very much against this, and held him prisoner in their family castle for a year, to try and dissuade him.  His brothers even hired a prostitute to seduce him.  None of this worked.

Thomas studied and taught theology (which he regarded as a science) in Paris, Cologne, Rome, and other major learning centres, for many years.  In 1265, he began writing the Summa Theologica, which he originally intended to be an instructional guide for moderate young theologians, and a collection of the Catholic Church’s main teaching.

But it turned into the definitive examination of Christian reasoning on all the major issues for a Christian.  For example: What is the proof of God’s existence?  What is God’s nature?  How was the world created?  What is the path to God?

The work was more than just an examination of the Church’s sacred doctrines.  He drew from other religions - Muslim, Hebrew and pagan sources, citing works by Aristotle, Boethius, Maimonides, Plato, Ulpian (Roman jurist) and many other great thinkers and philosophers.  He gave a universal interpretation of their ideas.  “Law is an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.”  “The human mind may perceive truth only through thinking, as is clear from Augustine.”

The Summa Theologica is both a compendium and manual of theology.  It summarizes the history of the cosmos, and reveals the meaning of life.

Here is another excerpt, offering proof of God’s existence:

It is certain and evident to our senses that in the world some things are in motion.  Now whatever is moved is moved by another...If that by which it is moved be itself moved, then this also must needs be moved by another, and that by another again.  But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover and, consequently, no other mover, seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are moved by the first mover, as the staff moves only because it is moved by the hand.  Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, moved by no other; and this everyone understands to be God.

1417 version of Summa Theologica, copied by Peter Schöffer.

Typography Tuesday

This week we present a few illustrative pages from Divina Proportio Typographica: Das Buch vom Goldenen Typographischen Modul  (Divine Typographic Proportions: The Book of the Golden Typographic Module) by the Argentine typographer, designer, artist, and scholar Raúl Mario Rosarivo, translated into German by Heinz Nieth, and designed and edited by the eminent German typographer, calligrapher, and book designer Hermann Zapf. The edition was printed and bound in Krefeld, German, by Richard Scherpe in 1961 to mark the 25th anniversary of the Scherpe print shop.

Raúl Rosarivo was General Director of Talleres Gráficos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, and in the 1940s he began an extensive analysis of early printed books by Johann Gutenberg, Peter Schöffer, Nicolas Jenson, and others. With the help of compass and ruler he described the use of the "número de oro" (golden number), by which he meant the ratio 2:3, in these early works. He published his findings as Divina proporción tipográfica in Agentina in 1947. Other editions came out in 1948 and 1953; ours is the first German language edition. In the book, Rosarivo asserts that Gutenberg used the "golden number" (or "secret number" as he also called it) to establish the harmonic relationships between the diverse parts of his printed work. Scholars at the Gutenberg Museum analyzed the findings and republished them in the January 1955 issue of their official journal Gutenberg Jahrbuch. Rosarivo’s work has had a lasting influence on type and page design concepts (see, for example, our post on Jeffrey Morin’s and Steve Ferlauto’s The Sacred Abecedarium).

Our copy of the German translation, another donation from our friend Jerry Buff, is set in Hermann Zapf’s own Optima-Antiqua from the D. Stempel type foundry, and bears Zapf’s signed presentation inscription.

not schöffer’s roman

peter schöffer of gernsheim [1425-1503] was a scribe who apprenticed to the inventor of the black art, johannes gutenberg. schöffer united with gutenberg’s partner, johann fust, in legal proceedings against gutenberg resulting in «appropriation» of guntenberg’s printing apparatus; after which he married fust’s daughter, christina, & articled with fust in a new printing office—fust & schöffer.  urbiciani’s poem [1st illustration*] prefaces a little book entitled Hand and Soul by dante gabriel rossetti [the halcyon press, maastricht, 1928]: it is set in types attributed to schöffer—which would have been amongst the first transalpine romans. the matrices descended schöffer’s family until jacobus scheffers, a printer at bois-le-duc [’s-hertogenbosch], sold them to johannes enschedé on 26 august 1768—enschedé used them only for study. the book is set in a fount cast by the historic firm of joh. enschedé en zonen, haarlem, in the early 20th c., from the restored material [ibid., colophon].  however, we learn from a.f. johnson: «One roman of this class has survived to our day, and is part of the wonderful collection of early types owned by Enschedé of Haarlem. In the specimen of this roman issued in 1926 they attribute it to Peter Schöffer of Mainz, and consider it to be the oldest type in their collection. It came to the Haarlem firm in 1768 from one Jacobus Scheffers, a printer at Bois-le-Duc, a descendent of the Schöffers. Their dating of the type is too early, but it is at least early sixteenth century. It is first found at Cologne in 1527.» [Type Designs, grafton & co., london, 1959, p.44].  johnson further directs us via footnote [ibid.] to A History of the Old English Letter Foundries by talbot baines reed (edition edited & expanded by johnson) who puts us firmly in the picture: «Thomas Berthelet, who succeeded Pynson as King’s printer in 1530, introduced two, or possibly three, new romans and an italic from Cologne, where there was an anonymous punch-cutter at work in the twenties, one of whose designs has survived to our generation. Whether he worked as an independent founder or was an employee of one of the leading Cologne printers, Quentel or Cervicorn, cannot be discovered. … The 88 roman [2nd illustration†] is found at Antwerp with J. Steelsius in 1539. This type seems to have some relation to Quentel’s roman first found in 1527, a type which has survived, at least in part.» [faber&faber, london, 1952, pp 87-8]. the textile research centre in leiden has an interesting page about peter quentel & his activity in 1527.

Manuscript: A document written by hand rather than printed. Many medieval manuscripts were written by monks, but by the 12th century, the demand for manuscript books from the various universities was so high that monastic production could no longer keep up and scribing became a profession in its own right. Professional scribes co-existed quite successfully with printers for a long time and early printing drew heavily on manuscript traditions: Peter Schöffer, Gutenberg’s most skillful co-worker and an important printer in his own right, had been trained as a scribe before he became a printer.

Grapefruit beer

GRAPEFRUIT BEER FULL

Both their original and flavored beers have taken German and world markets by storm, becoming in-demand and garnering numerous praises. To this day, Schöfferhofer remains a trailblazer, with the first Hefeweizen grapefruit beer in the world being produced by them, and launched in 2007. It’s brewed in Mainz, and its first wheat beer, the Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen, was brewed in 1978. In fact, its logo depicts a portrait of Peter Schöffer. The brewery was founded in Mainzer Schöfferhof, the former home of revolutionary German printer, Peter Schöffer. Schöfferhofer is the first wheat beer outside of Bavaria, embracing modernity instead of clinging onto old traditions. Serve this beer cold, and have it as a refreshing partner to barbecues and smoked salmon. An easy-to-drink beer, it’s crisp and zesty, with sweet grapefruit flavors, and sharp wheat notes.įruity and citrusy, the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Beer pairs wonderfully with fresh and soft cheeses, and salads. Medium-bodied, it has subtle aromas of wheat and grapefruit. This casual, refreshing brew has a cloudy orange hue, and ABV of 2.5%. It’s made with a blend of equal parts Schöfferhofer beer and fresh grapefruit juice. Avoids putting all the fresh zest into starsan.The Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Beer is the first Hefeweizen (wheat beer) grapefruit beer in the world.

Some say this bitter fruit is an acquired taste (and it well may be, given my husband’s avid disregard for it), but it’s a star in this cocktail. Its semi-sweet juices make for an elevated Moscow mule. Dry hopping after 9 days with 1 oz of fresh Cascade and 0.5 oz of fresh Citra. Instead of lime, we’re opting for grapefruit.
