Question

Why did Gutenberg Print the bible?
Thanks, I will give medal... possibly fan.

Answer 1

First of all it is thought that he made types of hard wood. Each type was a little block with a single letter at one end. Such types were a great deal better than block letters. The block letters were fixed. They could not be taken out of the words of which they were parts. The new types were movable so they could be set up to print one page, then taken apart and set up again and again to print any number of pages. But type made of wood did not always print the letters clearly and distinctly, so Gutenberg gave up wood types and tried metal types. This worked much better, and Gutenberg was progressing well toward the completion of the first book ever printed by movable type: the Bible in Latin.

Answer 6

Johann Gutenberg, which is his full name was born around 1398, throughout his life we worked with printing and developing new methods of printing that would further the improvement of the industry. In this time the most popular book was...the bible, so Johann most likely chose this book because very many people would want copies of it. He wanted to show the importance of the printing press and what it could do by many numerous copies of a book, like the bible. It was in high demand. :)
