Answer:
Gutemberg, with the invention of the mobile press, ushered in a new era that began to combine printed texts and woodcut illustrations.
Gutenberg's invention caused the idea of the spread of knowledge to collapse on a socially, economically and religiously changing Europe. It was firewood in the bonfire of cultural effervescence that would eventually consume the Middle Ages.
The books printed with his invention spread the habit of reading and writing and left the culture within the reach of the new social classes, whose power took root in the cities. As Johannes Gutenberg's life went almost unrecorded, the date of invention of the printing press is equally uncertain.
