Gutenburg invented the wooden printing press in 1440, not 1450!

[roddy99]

The printing press was not invented in one particular year but rather developed over a period of 10 years. 1450 is toward the end of those development years and indicates the completion of his printing press. 1450 is also the year that he begins work on the Bible.

This was useful, but where did you find this information please?

[BloodRedVampire]

This video was very helpful. Where did you get all this information? i have to right an essay about the consequences of Gutengerg and the printing press, but i cant find anything useful.

Guys, no disrespect but, you all are so totally wrong. Gutenberg invented the molds by which lead type was cast. Movable type was being used at the time as well as printing presses. The printing press was actually invented or "developed" first in Asia. All your degrees have been revoked. Cheers! - HWM, MBA.

how did the press give them democracy?and how did it bring about nationalism? of course Europe would invent nationalism its what started ww1..

@Goldpferd No, all of Europe was not Catholic. Much of it was Eastern Orthodox and Muslim. There was also various heretical sects running around, such as the Waldensians.

Also, under Catholic governments, you were allowed to be any religion you wanted, provided you didn't impose it on others.

And my point still stands ... this video is praising these people and yet bashing the Catholic Church. But ironically these people were all Catholic. THAT doesn't make any sense. Sorry if you disagree.

@Krshwunk

"Gutenberg was Catholic"

Well, what did you expect?

The Protestant Reformation happened a century after Gutenbergs death, all of Europe was catholic at his time, so how could he have been anything but that?

You're not making any sense here.
