136,173. In the year of our Lord 1448 in Mainz, Germany, a goldsmith by the name of Johannes Gutenberg was experimenting with a lead alloy and a hand-held mould. His aim was to speed up the process of putting ink on paper but what he did was to speed up history. Gutenberg’s invention spelled the end of the Middle Ages and ushered in the modern world of science and industry. (Write & Words & Literature & Press & Book & Letter & Invention & Paper & Printing) Lydia Wilson, The Secret History of Writing II: Words on a Page
136,174. The fall of the Roman Empire is one of the great inflection points of history and it coincides with a change in the technology of Europe.

136,175. The fact that parchment could be folded made it possible to stitch leaves together into a codex, the modern form of the book. (Write & Words & Literature & Press & Book & Letter & Invention & Paper & Printing) ibid.
136,176. Brush calligraphy produced works of art that were prized in China every bit as much as illuminated manuscripts were in Europe. But in a medieval manuscript the art is in the decoration around the text. The nature of the Latin alphabet and the characteristics of parchment produced letters that were regular and repetitive. But in Chinese brush-calligraphy the art is in the brushwork that produces the characters themselves. And that is made possible by the nature of the writing surface. Paper was invented in China in 2nd century A.D. (Write & Words & Literature & Press & Book & Letter & Invention & Paper & Printing) ibid.
136,177. Paper was key to another Chinese invention: woodblock printing. Each handwritten page of text was glued to a wooden block and then the characters were carved out by a skilled craftsman.

136,179. The secret of Gutenberg’s printing press was his ability to mass-produce copies of each individual letter.
