About this listen

The printing press, invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, revolutionized the dissemination of knowledge and had a profound cultural impact. Before its invention, books were expensive and rare, but the printing press made them more accessible and affordable. It played a significant role in the cultural changes of the Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, and the scientific revolution. The printing press democratized knowledge, fostered a culture of learning, and shaped religious and scientific landscapes.
