The Jikji, world's oldest machine printed book, on show in Paris

Description

The oldest known work printed on a mechanical press, a Korean book that predates the first European example by several decades, goes on display in Paris for the first time in 50 years. The "Jikji", a collection of Buddhist teachings, was printed in 1377, some 78 years before Johannes Gutenberg produced his famous Bible using his printing press in Germany.
