The religion of print

Starting in the 15th century, moveable type printing threatened jobs, killed off Latin, and created a multilingual publishing industry. Luther’s German translation of the Bible was one of the first in Europe.

 

500 years before, Asian block-printing had been used to print the Chinese translation of the huge Buddhist Tripitaka. Although Islam prefers not to internationalize its source code, most religions localize.
