![Page 16: The Development of Movable Type and the Evolution of Printing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/5681614b550346895dd0cbb9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Birth of the Renaissance• At around 1400-1500
A.D., there is a sudden drastic increase in the search for knowledge.
• Universities open and people begin to want to learn.

The Great Cambridge Library • In A.D. 1424, the
entire collection of the University Library of Cambridge holds 122 manuscript books.
• (compare this to the Library of Alexandria…)

Why so few books?
• A simple 200 page manuscript took 5-6 months to scribe.
• The 25 pages of sheepskin used for vellum to create a book were more expensive than the scribe.

Is there any progress in Europe?
• The “Woodblock Print” made its way from China to Europe around 1300 A.D.
