The Print Revolution in Germany
From 1500 to 1516, vittenberg printers produced just 123 books a year. After the 95 theses from 1517 to Luther's death in 1546, they turned out 2721 works and probably more than 3 million individual copies. By the mid 16th century, the pace of publishing is enough to sustain regular broadsheets or early newspapers. The print revolution is changing how the literate population relates to society and to each other.
