Born around 1400 in Mainz, in the Holy Roman Empire, Johannes Gutenberg
Born around 1400 in Mainz, in the Holy Roman Empire, Johannes Gutenberg was a goldsmith and printer who combined movable metal type, oil-based ink, and a wooden press into the system that launched Europe's printing revolution. His Gutenberg Bible, completed circa 1455, demonstrated mass-produced books of manuscript quality and laid the groundwork for the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution.
