The mechanical printing press designed/invented by Johannes Gutenberg circa 1439. Undoubtedly a big event. Gutenberg was also responsible for the a system a moveable typography which led to the production of his major work, the Gutenberg Bible or the 42 line Bible.
Gutenberg's invention revolutionised the production of books in Europe and led to the destruction of this way of making bookworks.
