The phrase "nova forma scribendi" means "new art of writing". It is a phrase associated with Gutenberg and his most important work: the Gutenberg (Mazarin) Bible in 1454. This publication is the earliest book ever printed from moveable type, using a Gothic-style typeface that was similar to the highest quality handwriting at that time. There are only known 48 copies in existence today; a complete first edition is valued at $25-35 million dollars, and a single page from the book could easily net $25,000. The Gutenberg bible was a work of art and is regarded as the most beautiful book ever printed.
