GUTENBERG'S PRINTING PRESS
The first book printed with movable type in the West was the Mazarin Bible, also known as the Gutenberg Bible, in 1455 by German Catholic Johannes Gutenberg. Gutenberg's press was based on a screw press, with a matrix that allowed him to arrange individual letters and symbols into words. He is believed to have printed 180 copies of the Bible, but only 49 are known to have survived as of 2009.
