1 janv. 1452 - Gutenberg Printing Press
Description:
The invention of the Gutenberg printing press made it possible to print books quickly, rather than the previous methods of handwriting a copy of a book or unmovable type. This also allowed for books to be bought for cheaper and sold more and more widely. This selling of literature at a much faster rate and on a much grander scale allowed for greater circulation of the ideas published in books, such as those of the Renaissance. Gutenberg also printed a widely famous version of the Bible in the vernacular of his people, popularizing texts in the language of the common people. The ideas flowing from various places gave each nation a different literary voice from the others, making their identities and cultures more distinct as books were consumed and enjoyed and shared by the people of each nation.Ajouté au bande de temps:
