Arrange the sentences into the correct order.
Put the sentences in the correct order:
- That sudden spread of affordable text is now widely credited with accelerating the Reformation and the broader scientific revolution that followed.
- As a direct result, the price of books fell sharply within a few decades, putting written material within reach of merchants and tradespeople rather than only clergy and nobility.
- This machine allowed individual letters to be arranged, inked, and pressed onto paper repeatedly, producing dozens of identical pages in the time it once took to write a single one by hand.
- Around 1440, the German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg addressed this bottleneck by combining movable metal type with an adapted wine press.
- Before the fifteenth century, every book in Europe had to be copied out by hand, a process so slow that a single Bible could take a monk more than a year to complete.
