Synopsis

The printing was a cultural revolution. The printing invention broadens the use of private lecture and public writing. The quick reproduction of printed books, making texts more accessible, guaranteed the dissemination of the writing among the society as it had never been seen before. It is used for academic lessons, for administration, for predication and for entertainment. The classical and Christian tradition were being reoriented and reconsiderated in the 15 and 16 centuries. Printing will facilitate the transmission of the writing culture and will set a new republic of the universal letters, that will impact in the intellectual work, in the access methods to knowledge and in the way of establishing communication connections throughout Europe. The printed book is useful for the new scientific disciplines, since it tries to revive classics in reeditions of medicine, astronomy, natural sciences or maths texts, which means that it broadens to modern knowledge, distancing it from ignorance or superstition. Even so, Church understood that printing should be associated to the mission of expanding the gospel. A great number of religious texts are printed: sacred writings, liturgical books, and praying books, pious or mystics, published in vulgar language, and had a great number of readers, both clerics and laypeople.
