__**Major Medical Advancements**__

The Printing Press lead to the creation of thousands of copies of books, and had a big impact on science during this time. The printing press meant that the books containing these new ideas could be spread quickly and accurately and, contain detailed drawings made by artists such as Leonardo Di Vinci.
