December 13 is the day when the English publisher William Caxton published the first book
English publisher William Caxton was the first publisher to print a book in England on December 1476, 13.
On the European continent, Great Britain is a bit of a latecomer in this area. Johann Gutenberg started printing books in 1440.
On December 13, 1476, William Caxton, who studied publishing in Cologne, was the first to print a book.
A year later, on November 18, the first book from the Caxton printing house was published - "Words or Thoughts of Philosophers". After that, many novels about knights were published by Gosser, Boetsi, Ovid, Vergili, Baccacho. Caxton was not only a publisher but also a good translator.
