years ago

13 January 1535,

French king Francisco I.ak banned printing. Before, the king became famous for promoting the development of art and letters, he undertook a persecution against the Protestants. Almost a hundred years ago, Guttenberg invented the printing press, which meant a great social transformation. He sought to prevent the Protestants from spreading their doctrine in writing, inter alia, by banning the printing of books. They continued publishing papers in the underground.
