Gutenberg's printing machine, born in 1398 in the German city of Mainz, was said to have used metal blocks for printing wood. It was easy to print on any paper with this machine. This printing machine could print more than 1 thousand pages per day. This earlier printing technique could only print 40 to 50 pages a day.

The invention of this printing machine revolutionized the field of education. The book started printing. The reason was the middle class of Europe, who started reading books. Gutenberg's printing machine was the first to print a poem in German. A Latin grammar book was also printed, although Gutenberg Press received it after the Bible was printed.

With this came the printing of the Bible in large numbers. It was delivered to churches outside Europe. Before this the Bible was very rare. It took the pastor a year to write it by hand, although Gutenberg printed 200 Bibles in less time. The first Bible printed by Gutenberg in a printing press was sold for 30 florins (then German currency).

It was cheaper than a handwritten Bible at the time. Today more than 21 Gutenberg Bibles are available. Today it is worth more than 30 30 million. He died on this day, February 3, 1468.
