A bit of history about books
New week and new historical information from the field of printing from the “First Experimental Printing House”
“The One’s Deepest Secrets of the Art of Medicine” is the title of a sealed 100-page book that was found among the belongings of the famous Dutch doctor Hermann Boerhave after his death in 1738. The book was auctioned off for $ 10,000 in gold. After the seal was opened, the pages were found to be blank. Only on the title page was the inscription: “Keep your head in the cold, your feet warm, and you will make the poor man the best doctor.”In public libraries in medieval Europe, books were chained to shelves. Such chains were long enough to take a book off the shelf and read, but did not allow the book to be taken out of the library. This practice was widespread until the 18th century, due to the great value of each copy of the book.
Among the most read books in the world, the first place, undoubtedly, belongs to the Bible. Its total circulation is six billion copies. In second place is Mao Zedong’s quotation book, and third place went to “The Lord of the Rings”.
