Printing will speed up the transmission of written culture and will configure a new republic of universal letters., that will have an impact on intellectual work, in the methods of access to knowledge and in the way of establishing communication connections throughout Europe. The printed book serves the new scientific disciplines as it seeks the resurgence of the classics in reissues of medical texts., astronomy, natural sciences or mathematics, which means that thought is opened to modern knowledge, away from ignorance or superstition.
