- Johannes Gutenberg introduced mechanical movable type printing to Europe in approximately 1450 AD.
- It's difficult to overstate the impact the subsequent, 'Printing Revolution' made in transforming European society. Literacy flourished, and mass communication spread knowledge and ideas expediently through populations of people, all in spite of the still formidable, class and cultural barriers. Ultimately, the printing press proved itself pivotal to the development of the modern era, including: the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and of course, the Reformation.
- The Reformation, is often referred to as, The War Of Pamphlets. Pamphlets, only made possible due to the efficiency of mechanical movable type. It enabled Martin Luther's 95 Theses to be circulated widely as well as broadsheets outlining his position against indulgences.
- Second in notoriety only to his introduction of movable type, is of course, Gutenberg's bible. The first printed version ever of our beloved Christian canon.
