Johannes Gutenberg

Credited with inventing the movable type press. Most famous work, the Gutenberg Bible, also known as the 42-line bible. 
With the creation of the movable type, a new type of reformation took place. Helping to spawn new thought on old technology, the movable type system allowed for literature in many languages to be easily translated and then made in abundance. This helped the 16th century Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church in west Europe.
