global spread of the printing press









































the global spread of the printing press began with the invention of the printing press with movable type by johannes gutenberg in mainz, germany . western printing technology was adopted in all world regions by the end of the 19th century, displacing the manuscript and block printing.









































in the western world, the operation of a press became synonymous with the enterprise of publishing and lent its name to a new branch of media, the "press" (see list of the oldest newspapers).

global spread of the printing press
the velocity of transmission of the renaissance throughout europe can also be ascribed to the invention of the printing press. its power to disseminate information enhanced scientific research, spread political ideas and generally impacted the course of the renaissance in northern europe. as in italy, the printing press increased the availability of books written in both vernacular languages and the publication of new and ancient classical texts in greek and latin. furthermore, the bible became widely available in translation, a factor often attributed to the spread of the protestant reformation.
