6  The Invention That Changed The World! The Printing Press

7   Chinese invention of block printing helped spread Renaissance ideas throughout Europe The Old Way of Printing

8   Monks used to hand- write Bibles by hand  Much room for error  If messed up, would have to start the whole page over again  Not many books were in print

9   During the 13 th century, European printers began using block printing to create whole pages to bind into books  This process was too slow  John Gutenberg reinvented moveable type around 1440 and made it more practical The New Way

10  Each block was carved by hand with each character in position which meant a completely new carved block for each page

11   Gutenberg later invented a printing press- a machine that presses paper against a full tray of inked moveable type  Enabled a printer to produce hundreds of copies, all exactly alike Gutenberg’s Printing Press

12  The invention of movable type was made from a durable metal that could be cast from a mold rather than hand-carved from wood

13   Vernacular- The language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people in a particular country or region.  Writing in vernacular languages increased because those who didn’t have “classical” education could read in their own language Vernacular

14   The first full-size book printed with moveable type was the bible- known as the Gutenberg Bible, printed in 1455  Had a revolutionary impact on society  $$$$$$$ today Gutenberg Bible

15   Printers printed the Bible in vernacular, allowing more people to read it  People started to interpret the bible for themselves and became more critical of priests behavior  This leads to demands for religious reform Results: Vernacular and the Bible

16   For the first time, books were cheap enough that people could buy them  By 1500, presses in about 250 cities had printed between 9 and 10 million books!  At first, just religious books were printed, then travel books and medical manuals were printed  Availability of books encouraged people to read causing a spike in literacy Effects
