Johannes Gutenberg


Johannes Gutenberg influenced the early renaissance. Gutenberg is most famous for his invention in the printing press. With this new invention, people were able to mass produce books. This led to the spreading of new ideas, technology, and the ability to read. With his printing press, Gutenberg printed the bible in Mainz in 1452-1454/55. It consisted of 42 lines per page, and 180 copies were made. It was named the Gutenberg Bible.
