"Bible journaling has a long history. Adding beautiful images to the pages of medieval Bibles was at its peak when the first Gutenberg Bible came off his press.
Gutenberg's desire was to approximate the majesty and splendor of the medieval manuscripts, and if possible, to accentuate their beauty through his newfound art. Gutenberg and the medieval printers, practicing more of an art than a craft, lavished great care upon the printing of God’s Holy Word through the use of large and distinguished formatting, fine press work, creamy, watermarked, paper, and an elaborate Gothic typeface. After experimenting with several different formats, the printers settled on a 4- line page with two columns of type. As a result, the Gutenberg Bible had better proportions and harmony than any manuscript, even those produced with the greatest of care by the most learned of scribes. Spaces were left for capital letters and headings, and those who purchased the Bibles commissioned artists to illuminate each page with religious miniatures, dragons, peacocks, falcons, and medieval flowers, making each of the original Gutenberg Bibles a unique, individual work of art. The combination of the elegant type and decorative illuminations made the Gutenberg Bible the most beautiful piece of printing ever produced.
