This woodblock print, discovered in a cave in Dunhuang, China, features a detailed depiction of the Buddha and is accompanied by text from the sutra. The Diamond Sutra is significant not only for its artistic representation but also as an important Buddhist scripture emphasizing the nature of perception and enlightenment.

The earliest recorded printed newspaper dates back to 1605 in Germany, called "Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien" (Account of all distinguished and memorable news). It was a weekly publication that contained news and events from around Europe.
The Bible
The first is probably lost to history; the earliest printing technique was "block" printing, where a whole block of text was carved into wood and used to produce multiple copies. A very early block print is an invocation to Apollo, printed in the 6th century BC - although it's very likely that the technique had some "practise" pieces that were lost. The earliest known block printed book is Diamond Sutra; produced in China in the 5th century. The first movable type printing (where each letter is a separate, reusable element) was also developed in China, but the high number of characters in the Chinese alphabet limited it's use. The Gutenburg Bible is one of the earliest books (1455) printed using the movable type system, but it wasn't the first book Gutenburg printed, but the earliest didn't carry a printer's name. A book of Latin grammar (called Ars Minor) may have been printed by Gutenberg in 1451/2.
James Gleick, a science writer and author, does not explicitly discuss Gutenberg in his works. However, he has written extensively on the impact of technology on society and culture, which may touch on themes related to Gutenberg's invention of the printing press and its effects on knowledge dissemination.
