<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">From medieval manuscripts to commercially printed books to today's rapidly recycled digital content, we'll explore how changing forms have shaped the ways texts have been read and understood, how the
development and spread of printing technology in Europe impacted the modern world, how the book became dominant, and how a new media revolution (the mass digitization of texts) is again reshaping access to and understanding of the past. We'll study the development
and spread of print technology in 15<sup>th</sup>‑century Europe and the impacts of this communications revolution on life, culture, religion, society and politics: What role did the circulation of printed news play in the fall of monarchies and rise of modern
democracies? How did copyright and intellectual property, along with new notions of authorship and originality, emerge from the need to regulate the burgeoning market in printed books? How did “mass-produced” Bibles and devotional books transform religious
experience?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
