Congratulations to Professor Jeffrey Hamburger who will be awarded
the biannual Gutenberg Prize of the city of Mainz (birthplace of Johannes Gutenberg) and the International Gutenberg Society for 2022. The prize, delivered by the mayor of Mainz, is given for “an outstanding artistic, technical or scientific achievement in the field of the art of printing” and, in Professor Hamburger's case, for his contributions to the history of the book, specifically, relations between manuscript and print culture in the fifteenth century, most recently, in his book Color in Cusanus (2021). Previous awardees include Harvard's own Robert Darnton, Umberto Eco, and Alberto Manguel. The prize will be awarded in Mainz in late June.
