The first book published by Johannes Gutenberg's printing press is commonly believed to be the Gutenberg Bible, also known as the 42-line Bible. It was printed around 1455 in Mainz, Germany.
The printing press was invented before the Americas were discovered. The same kind that were used in Europe were simply made in America once people wanted them there. The first printing press in Europe was built by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. He made it around 1440 and the first book he printed was the Bible.
Its from Europe but it was discovered in Asia by Muhan Jwan
A first edition will have the numbers: "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" The 1 indicates that it is a first printing. If the number line ends in 6, it is the 6th printing.
The spectral line for helium was first discovered by a French astronomer working in India during a solar eclipse. An English astronomer determine that this spectral line was due to a previously unknown element. An Italian physicist first detected helium on Earth. A Scottish chemist, was the first to isolate helium on Earth. So where was helium discovered? Depending on how you define "discovery" it was discovered in India, France, England, Italy or Scotland.
The first thing to be printed on a printing press was the bible.
Line up the printing on ball along target line.
It will say "First Edition" on one of the first inside pages. Look closely, it is in small print. A more important question will be be...which "state" is it in, by that I mean is it a 1st printing, 2nd printing, 3rd printing etc. They are all first editions, but the 1st printing of this particular volume is worth pretty big bucks: $700-$1,000 or more. The only way to tell it is a true 1st printing is if the dedication page is left off. It was an error that was corrected in the 2nd printing. Scarce...look for this volume!
The dark line spectrum was first observed by Joseph von Fraunhofer in 1814 during his study of the Sun's spectrum. These dark lines are now known as Fraunhofer lines and are caused by absorption of specific wavelengths of light by various elements in the Sun's atmosphere.
