he printing press was transformed by Johann Gutenberg, a German goldsmith, and more than 8 million books were printed in occidental europium among 1456 and 1500. This invention had an effect with the Protestant Reformation. It not altogether furthered the knowledge of geography, but it also expand knowledge passim the countries and whether you were smashed or poor, printing make books available to the general public.By 1560, many battalion were either Catholic, Protestant, or mixed (Doc. 5). Non-Catholic Western European Christians were the followers of Luther. Luthers goal was to stir debate around the issue of indulgences. He believed that is was premature how the churches would encourage indulgences onto the hatful. Written in one of the 95 Theses, if people bought indulgences, and so they would be etern aloney damned and because of the printing press, the 95 Theses were known throughout Europe (Doc. 3).

The popes were taking money from the people in exchange of an indulgence. Lucas Cranach, a close friend of Luther, made a woodcut to demonstrate not only the comparison between a pope and Jesus, but also how money was a discern factor (Doc. 4). Having a point of view from a Catholic German pope in 1521 could give details and evidence of how indulgences were for the better of the people and not for the pope himself.In 1471, the printing press was not known widely. closely thirty years later, the invention dispersed and along with it was a earn (Doc. 2). Christopher capital of Ohio wrote about his experience of inhabited islands he found in the letter and because of the printing press, his letter spread throughout Western Europe (Doc. 6). He wrote this to keep the king of Spain updated and to let the public know his findings. Columbus was a skilled voyager. He wanted to find new routes and to experience back goods.

Then in the mid-1500s, print shops would be built (Doc. 1). Just like the evolving of printing and books, knowledge was expanded and it evolved as well. Isaac nitrogen was able to use previous knowledge of other scholars to become a mathematician himself. He was able to make the world more understanding by expanding on other philo sophers like Galileo (Doc. 10).And other scientific individuals were able to do that as well. For example, Johannes Kepler described how lenses work and was able to create an astronomical telescope. aft(prenominal) him, Robert Hooke was able to use a microscope to further his observations (Doc. 10).
