Mistake

[edit]

The picture does not show a hand press for printing books but an old wine press. These presses were already known in middle ages and became models for constructing hand presses for the new technique of printing books in 15th century. The first print of Dante's Comedia was not printed by a wine press but a hand press for printing books. Please correct the picture's annotation, thank you. --Felistoria (talk) 16:05, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I used the description given at the museum. But you're free to add to the annotation and correct it. JoJan (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
