Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of movable type printing press. Before Gutenburg books had to be copied word for word by hand. Gutenberg made it possible to set up a page and copy on a printing press an infinite number of those pages. Before Gutenburg, the western world had about 10,000 books - all hand copied. After Gutenberg it had millions of books and the knowledge of all mankind could be shared all over the world. Everyone could own a book.
