Gutenberg's printing technology quickly spread from Mainz to Subiaco in Italy (1465), Paris (1470), and London (1476). By the beginning of the 16th century, there were approximately 240 printing shops in Europe. This well provided University of Iowa site focuses on the 15th century. The Atlas of Early Printing visually renders the spread of printing across Europe at the time. The wealth of links and resources provide for further study and inquiry.
