Best Answer

Gutenberg invented printing. About fifteen years before the invention of printing, he marketed a very early periscope. I think the question confuses these two facts.

Gutenberg marketed a periscope in the 1430's, so pilgrims could see over the heads of people in the crowd. He actually may have invented it. I see no record of what it was called at the time, but the scientific naming conventions used in modern English would certainly give it the name periscope.
