Antiques Roadshow expert is left gobsmacked by a rare item dating back to over 550 years old
Books and manuscripts expert Matthew Haley was astonished by a set of prints dating back to the 1400s which might be 'the oldest printed thing we'll ever see'.
Books and manuscripts expert Matthew Haley was presented with a set of sheets of script from near the dawn of the printing press on the BBC show's visit to Glasgow. Host Fiona Bruce explained that rare, early books are 'an exciting find', especially those from the pioneers of printing who brought the Bible to the masses in western Europe in the 1400s. Even older still, were manuscripts from Germany and Italy going back as far as 1470 - 552 years ago - including from Peter Schoeffer, Johannes Gutenberg's 'apprentice'.
