jan 1, 1450 - First Printed Book in Europe (1450)

Description:

The Gutenberg Bible (1455) was the first major book printed in Europe with movable metal type by Johannes Gutenberg.

Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith by profession, developed, circa 1439, a printing system by adapting existing technologies to printing purposes, as well as making inventions of his own.

It was not the first though...
