How did invention of printing press fuel of the ideas of the ideas of the reformation and the scientific revolution?

Answer 1

APEX: The Catholic Church had previously controlled the copy and distribution of printed materials

Answer 2

The printing press allowed for the rapid reproduction and dissemination of ideas, making it easier for reformers and scientists to spread their messages to a wider audience. This led to increased literacy rates and access to information, which in turn facilitated the spread of new and radical ideas during the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution.

Answer 3

Without the printing press, the reformation movement would have been much slower to gain acceptance. As Martin Luther and others questioned the Catholic Church by relying on scriptures, the first printed books became available to the populations because of the printing press.

Answer 4

y people don't realize that the printing press with movable type was not invented until 1422, and for many years after, printed books remained rare, extremely expensive, and out of reach of most ordinary people. Medieval European farmers and villagers did not own books called The Rules of the Catholic Churchor What the Pope Wants You to Know. They did not own any books because there were no bookstores; books had to be copied by hand with a pen and ink which was very expensive - only universities, libraries, churches, and very, very wealthy persons could afford books until the 15th century, and even then, books were very, very costly.

During the Middle Ages, monks living in monasteries, specially trained to reproduce Bibles, would lovingly handcraft the sheepskin pages on which they would write, ground the powder and mixed the ink, then painstakingly copied from the original all of the thousands of words of text from the various books of The Bible. This process might take months - there was no electrify; all was done by sunlight through the window or by oil lamp or candle. It was necessary to dry the pages, then bind them. A parish church might wait years before they received their precious copy of the Bible.

The Bibles were copied and passed on in Latin because everyone who had learned how to read, had learned how to read in Latin. There was no systematic writing of English until well after Shakespeare's time. Scholars - the ones who copied and purchased Bibles - read, wrote, and spoke Latin. VII even spoke Latin well, and spoke it with Catherine of Aragon, who arrived in England without being able to speak much English. Henry VIII spoke Latin, as did Martin Luther, whose 95 Theses were written in Latin. Pretty much anyone who could read, could read Latin.
