| Abstrakt: | The most important text at the end of the Middle Ages was the Bible. It had been published in manuscript on parchment bound between wooden covers. The production of such a book was time consuming and expensive. Martin Luther's proclamation of 95 theses directed against the practice and authority of the Roman Catholic church led to a speedy opposition from the church. However, the modern availability of paper and printing together with the printing of images, resulted in a rapid distribution of the bible in German. The church authorities had banned the spreading of literacy outside the clergy, but the publishing of Luther's bible involved the use of techniques which could be applied to other disciplines, improving the quality of the information on which their activities was based. This included the practice of surgery. (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V. All rights are reserved, including those for text and data mining, AI training, and similar technologies.) |
