The Lena River. The Lena is the 10th-longest river in the world, flowing 2,734 miles across the Far East regions of Russia, forming near Lake Baykal and flowing northeast to the Arctic Ocean. It empties in a 250-mile-wide delta at the Laptev Sea.
This was essential to the success of the Reformation. GUTENBERG, JOHANN (c. 1398â1468), German printer, is supposed to have been born 1398â1399 at Mainz of well-to-do parents, his father being Friele zum Gensfleisch and his mother Elsgen Wyrich, whose birthplace âGutenbergâ, was the name he adopted.
In 1450 Gutenberg borrowed a considerable sum of money from Johann Fust, a wealthy businessman and moneylender. The loan funded the construction of printing equipment for another workshop, which was large enough to accommodate the inventorâs next and most ambitious project, the 42-line Bible. Gutenberg viewed printing as a craft, not as a replacement for handwriting.
