Johann Gutenberg's main accomplishment was being the inventor of the mechanical-type printing press during the Middle Ages. With this invention, the mass production of books was possible. Prior to the printing press, the reproduction of books or manuscripts was through handwritten methods. He was born in 1395 and died in 1468.

Is there a link between history and science?

Of course there is! History is the (often biased) record of humanities progress through the ages and Science is one of our achievements as a species being the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. If you study the various histories of the nations through the ages you can see how in its infancy the Scientific principle arose independently in Greece, China, India and sometimes devolved into Alchemy before eventually coming to the fore again at the end of the 16th century, at least in Europe though a more scientific approach to various paths of discovery had flourished under Islam much earlier than that. The fall of Rome combined with the extremely repressive and ignorant attitude of the Church made Europe a relative latecomer in scientific contributions although Gutenbergs contribution of printing from movable type helped to make up the lost time by propagating the contributions of scholars whose contributions might otherwise have been lost to us. In fact it's essential to study History to get an accurate idea of how Science as a discipline came into being through the contributions of men and women from all over the known world. Otherwise you tend to get a highly biased Western European version of events that until very recently completely ignored the contributions of other nations, especially China.
