Stephen Fry and the Gutenberg bible

Biggest invention since the wheel
Renesanse 
Gutenberg bible 
Was a sign for a new world
Why did he invent his machine 
There is no original Gutenberg presses left in the world
Piston and plates technology 
On bull press
expensive bibles and books in general 
Scribes horrible conditions 
demand for books 
Academic saw the demand for books
Mains 
Strasburg 
The church was in the centre of the city
An elusive idea, that could be stolen for the money that they could make 
Paper production 
the Gutenberg bible was mass production for the first time
Ha had to repay dept and lost all of hid life work

Died poor
