The article describes the revolutionary new ways of communicating the written word when moving from the Medieval to Modern period in Europe, primarily the use of paper and moveable typeface printing and how these catalysed important cultural developments.

Equation number 5 has incorrectly been published as HT ht Graph whereas it should be HT ht Graph 4. [Extracted from the article]
