Johann Gutenberg, known as the father of the printing press, invented the first movable type printing press around 1455 AD in Mainz, Germany. The first book printed using his press was the “Gutenberg Bible”, also called the 42-line Bible. It is considered the first printed book in human history, marking the beginning of the printing revolution.
