It allowed the mass production of printed books, which encouraged the spread of new ideas.
Gutenberg’s press made books cheaper and easier to produce, boosting literacy, circulating scientific, humanist, and religious works (including vernacular Bibles) and helping movements like the Reformation — it did not unify Germans behind the Church, nor primarily cause widespread monk unemployment, nor discourage use of non‑Latin languages.
