German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg is called the father of modern printing. Around 1450, he developed movable type and invented letterpress printing using it; the many books circulated satisfied people’s desire for knowledge and disseminated information, greatly contributing to the Renaissance, Reformation, and emergence of early modern society in Europe.
近代印刷術の祖といわれるのがドイツの金細工師ヨハネス・グーテンベルクです。 1450年頃、活字の開発とそれを使った活版印刷術を発明し、出回った数多くの書物が、人々の知識欲を満たし情報を広めたことが、ヨーロッパにおける文芸復興（ルネッサンス）、宗教改革、近世社会の到来に大きく貢献したのです。
