Historical Antecedents in the course of Science and
Technology

: MEDIEVAL TIME
Medieval Time

► Middle Ages, the period in European history interpreted as beginning in the 13th, 14th, or
15th century, depending on the region of Europe and other factors
PRINTING PRESS
When Was the Printing Press Invented?

► No one knows when the first printing press was invented or who invented it, but the oldest
known printed text originated in China during the first millennium A.D.
► The Diamond Sutra, a Buddhist book from Dunhuang, China from around 868 A.D.
during the Tang Dynasty, is said to be the oldest known printed book.
► The Diamond Sutra was created with a method known as block printing, which utilized
panels of hand-carved wood blocks in reverse.
Woodtype

► Woodtype made a comeback in 1297 when Ching-te magistrate Wang Chen printed a
treatise on agriculture and farming practices called Nung Shu.
► Wang Chen devised a process to make the wood more durable and precise. He then
created a revolving table for typesetters to organize with more efficiency, which led to
greater speed in printing.
The movable type

► Moveable type, which replaced panels of printing blocks with moveable individual letters
that could be reused, was developed by Bi Sheng, from Yingshan, Hubei, China, who
lived roughly from 970 to 1051 A.D.
► The first moveable type was carved into clay and baked into hard blocks that were then
arranged onto an iron frame that was pressed against an iron plate.
► The earliest mention of Bi Sheng’s printing press is in the book Dream Pool Essays,
written in 1086 by scientist Shen Kuo, who noted that his nephews came into possession
of Bi Sheng’s typefaces after his death.
Gutenberg Press

Integral to Gutenberg’s design was replacing wood with metal and printing blocks with each
letter, creating the European version of moveable type.
► In order to make the type available in large quantities and to different stages of printing,
Gutenberg applied the concept of replica casting, which saw letters created in reverse in
brass and then replicas made from these molds by pouring molten lead.
MICROSPCOPE

Guided by the principle used for the invention of eyeglasses in

earlier years, Zacharias Janssen was able to develop the first
compound microscope. With this device, people were able to
observe organisms that were normally unseen by the naked
eyes. The microscope was key in discovering new means in
preventing and curing various illnesses.
Telescope

A telescope is an optical instrument using lenses, curved

mirrors, or a combination of both to observe distant objects, or
various devices used to observe distant objects by their
emission, absorption, or reflection of electromagnetic radiation

The history of the telescope dates back to the early 1600s. Galileo
Galilei is commonly credited for inventing the telescope, but this is not
accurate. Galileo was the first to use a telescope for the purpose of
astronomy in 1609 (400 years ago in 2009, which is currently being
celebrated as the International Year of Astronomy). Hans Lipperhey, a
German spectacle maker, is generally credited as the inventor of the
telescope, as his patent application is dated the earliest, on the 25th of
September 1608.

Summary

► Those mentioned discoveries and ancient innovations are the summed efforts of the
brilliant ancient people to address their identified encountered needs and difficulties in
