Johannes Gutenberg lived from (1395?-1468?)
Gutenberg was remembered because he invented the printing press.
Gutenberg had made copies of the bible to give to people, not just for the
priests which helped break the power of the Cathlic church.
Until Gutenberg invented how to print, people had to write the books by
hand.
It was so uncomfortable writing out books many times by hand that
sometimes it would take them months or weeks just to write one copy.
