Books Before and After Johannes Gutenberg
1

Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Mainz, Germany, in 1440. With the printing press, multiple copies of books could be produced efficiently and with consistent quality. Before Gutenberg’s invention, there were perhaps 30,000 books in all of Europe. Fifty years later, there were as many as 10 to 12 million.

Books Before the Printing Press

2

To understand how Gutenberg’s invention revolutionized European culture, it is “illuminating” to understand how books were made before the printing press. Intellectual and cultural life in Medieval Europe was limited, for the most part, to religious communities called monasteries. Large monasteries had rooms called scriptoria where monks copied manuscripts—all by hand. A scribe prepared each page by outlining the margins and drawing a straight line for each line of text. Then the scribe wrote with a goose quill dipped in ink. After the scribe was finished, a person called a rubicator checked for errors and added the titles and large initial letters. Finally, a person called an illuminator added the illustrations and other artwork. This time-consuming process was used for each page of every book before the printing press was invented.

The Invention That Changed Books

3

The invention of the printing press is really the invention of three things: movable type, ink, and the press itself. Movable type consists of small pieces of metal with raised letters, which can be arranged and re-arranged to form words. Once the movable type is arranged, the page can be printed over and over again. Printing also requires ink. The scribe’s ink was water based and did not stick to the type. Gutenberg had to invent ink that was thicker and stuck to the type. Finally, the actual printing press was an adaptation of a wine press. Gutenberg was likely familiar with the wine press because he grew up in a winemaking region of Germany.

Books After the Printing Press

In 1452 and 1453, Gutenberg published the Gutenberg Bible, his first major project. It looked like a handwritten bible, but it differed in that each page had 42 regularly spaced lines of text, and there were no variations from copy to copy. This made reading the book much easier. One hundred and eighty copies of the Gutenberg Bible were printed. Only 21 complete copies of the Gutenberg Bible exist today.



5

For the 350 years that followed the publication of the Gutenberg Bible, the printing process remained much the same. But significant changes took place in the intellectual and cultural life of society.

6

Gutenberg’s invention is, in fact, often described as the beginning of the information age. As the number of books increased, the types of books increased as well. In Medieval times, books were about religious topics only; the printing press enabled the printing of the so-called lost works of classical Greece and Rome. This renewed interest in the ancient world contributed to the rise of the Renaissance.

7

More than 240 printing shops had been established throughout Europe by the beginning of the sixteenth century. The spread of the printing press made it possible for more and more people to read books. Books began to be written in local languages, not just in Latin. This decline in the use of Latin for written communication both strengthened local languages and improved the educational opportunities for a wider range of society.

The Books of Today

8

Although virtual books are replacing more and more printed books, the influence of Gutenberg’s invention is still felt today. When we read a book, whether printed or electronic, we expect the consistency first established with the Gutenberg Bible. We expect that books are widely available, and not the domain of a privileged few. Gutenberg’s invention is so important that the first major effort to put all books online bears his name: “Project Gutenberg.”

The best response to how the part labeled "Books Before the Printing Press" helps the main idea of the text is:

**by giving us details that show how exceptional the printing press is.**

This section illustrates the labor-intensive and time-consuming process of book production before Gutenberg's invention. By contrasting the slow, manual methods of bookmaking with the efficiency and accessibility that the printing press allowed, it emphasizes the revolutionary impact of Gutenberg's invention on the publication and dissemination of books.

This answer reflects the connection between the setting and the content of the books produced during that time.

Question
(From "More Variety for Kennedy PE Classes", Illuminate)

Question: Which sentence from the passage BEST supports the idea that exercise is important for young people?







More Variety for Kennedy PE Classes
1

Kickball. Stretching. Walking briskly. Team sports. Dancing. Nothing beats the feeling one gets from working up a good sweat. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least sixty minutes of physical activity each day. However, many of today's youth have somehow gotten lost in the world of tablets, video games, and endless hours of staring contests with televisions. With all of these new time-consuming gadgets, daily physical activity has been placed on the back burner.* As many of my family's elder statesmen have frankly stated, "This new generation needs to exercise more!" It sounds harsh, but it's true. Many of my friends would rather be sitting in front of a gadget than exercising to help keep their bodies strong and healthy. The writing is clearly on the wall. We get it. Physical activity needs to be a top priority.

2

By no means am I the model of physical fitness, but I am an advocate for optimizing health. Between studying, chores, spending time with family, after-school clubs, social networking, and other miscellaneous "to-do" lists, most teens barely have time to squeeze in sleep, let alone any other daily activities. Yet according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), physical activity in adolescents improves strength and endurance, helps build strong bones, reduces stress, increases self-esteem, and it is also known to increase brain function. I'd love to reduce stress. I'd love to have strong bones. I'd love to increase brainpower. I'd love to be as fit as a fiddle. Be that as it may, many adolescents find it difficult to prioritize exercise, and we depend on getting those sixty minutes of daily physical activity at school.

3

Many schools are increasing physical fitness by providing comprehensive programs, increasing physical activities in classrooms, and providing opportunities for students to participate in intramural sports. This is not the case here at Kennedy Middle School. Variety is the spice of life, and a major concern at our school is that we simply do not have a balanced assortment of physical activities to choose from. We are forced to take the same colorless physical education classes year after year. At our school, gym simply consists of a sixty-minute tutorial on team sports. Granted, most of us appreciate the opportunity to exercise and learn about physical education. However, research proves that variety in exercise routines increases motivation. Even though schools provide an opportunity for students to exercise, there are students who are just not interested in traditional PE courses. Physical activity just isn't enjoyable. Many of my peers would certainly appreciate the flexibility of choosing from a list of accessible PE courses that uniquely meet each individual's needs. Accommodating the personal needs of each student is difficult, but lengthening the playing field will encourage more students to be active. Don't choose for us. Give us the choice.

4

Why not offer yoga as an option for PE? Teens should be able to practice yoga for the same reason adults do: to reduce stress. Teens need to relax too, and yoga is an excellent way to relax the mind and body. For outdoor enthusiasts, offer a course that includes all outdoor activities such as rock climbing, hiking, and biking. This may appeal to students who have done these activities on their own or those who simply want to try something new. Include a year-long walking or jogging course in which students can participate in a 5K race by the end of the year. There is no greater feeling than setting a goal and crossing the finish line. General aerobics sounds like fun, too.

5

Kennedy Middle School, increase student motivation to exercise at school by offering more variety. Encourage students to choose exercise over nonphysical activities by offering a more desirable range of PE classes. I guarantee you will see more students who are desperate to get the recommended amount of daily exercise. Dancing and music runs through my veins. If Kennedy Middle School offered a dance aerobics class, I'd be the first to sign up!

* back burner: Something placed on the "back burner" is something that is not urgent—something that is set aside to be dealt with later.
