Printing had fallen out of favor in the sixteenth century, with the rise of the printing press in fifteenth century Europe. In 1501, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and began to print books. In 1547, the first book printed in English was the Bible. The revival of printing in the sixteenth century was a result of the spread of the Protestant Reformation and the need to spread religious information. This book is a defence of the revival of printing and its importance to the spread of the Protestant Reformation.; 8vo; 37 pages; Price? ? ?
