===Gutenberg's Bible===

[[Johannes Gutenberg]] of [[Mainz]], [[Germany]] invented the first mechanical printing press in 1448.  His machine consisted of a large press which when cranked down, pressed a sheet of paper upon a platform in which were set thousands of inked metal letter typefaces (called "movable type"), set in place to read for a particular page.  The result was the [[Gutenberg Bible]], of which 180 were printed, and approximately 50 survived in varying conditions around the world.  The Gutenburg Bible marked another first: Bibles could now be mass produced into the hands of many more people at a lower cost than if they were printed by hand.
