Johannes Gutenberg, German printer and pioneer, conceived the idea for movable type and brought together the technologies of paper, oil-based ink, and the screw-press to print books. He is sometimes identified as the first European to print with hand-set type cast in molds. Detailed records of Gutenberg’s life and work are scant; his name does not appear on any of the works attributed to him. He was born around the year 1400, probably in Mainz, and trained as a goldsmith.
In 1438 Gutenberg entered into a partnership with Andreas Dritzehn to conduct experiments in printing. Gutenberg used hand-set type cast in molds to print multiple copies of manuscripts. The series of bibles attributed to Gutenberg were printed in approximately 1454 in Mainz, Germany. The invention of movable-type printing facilitated an easier exchange of ideas throughout Europe and helped spread the ideas of the Renaissance.
