Johann Gutenberg Around the late 1430s, a German man named Johann Gutenberg was quite desperate to find a way to make money. At the time, there was a trend in attaching small mirrors to one’s hat or clothes in order to soak up healing powers when visiting holy places or icons. The mirrors themselves were not significant, but Gutenberg quietly noted how lucrative it was to create mass amounts of a cheap product. During the 1300s to 1400s, people had developed a very basic form of printing. It involved letters or images cut on blocks of wood. The block would be dipped in ink and then stamped onto paper. Gutenberg already had previous experience working at a mint, and he realized that if he could use cut blocks within a machine, he could make the printing process a lot faster. Even better, he would be able to reproduce texts in great numbers. However, instead of using wood blocks, he used metal instead. This was known as a “movable type machine,” since the metal block letters could be moved around to create new words and sentences. With this machine, Gutenberg made the very first printed book, which was naturally a reproduction of the Bible. Today the Gutenberg Bible is an incredibly valuable, treasured item for its historical legacy. read less

The invention of the printing press actually predates Johannes Gutenberg. Chinese printer Bi Sheng invented and developed the world's first known movable type printing press technology between 1041 and 1048. This technology was later transmitted into Korea, the Imperial Chinese tributary state by the Han Chinese. Korean inventors created the world's first metal movable-type system for printing in 1234 during the reign of the Goryeo Dynasty, which occurred 216 years before Gutenberg's version of metal movable type. A Korean book titled Jikji was printed using this technology in 1377 and its technique has been described by the French scholar Henri-Jean Martin as 'extremely similar to Gutenberg's'. read less
