The invention of the printing press in 1455 by Johannes Gutenberg was a most important advancement. He developed movable type, with individual letters cast in molten metal. These letters could be set in sentences one letter at a time. He also developed a workable press that mechanically imprints the type on a page. Did he become famous? No. He ran out of money. The lawyer he borrowed money from took him to court and he lost everything. He died blind, with no recognition for what he accomplished. 
Gutenberg's printing press made possible the publication of many more books and also books in ordinary languages, not Latin.
