390 years ago today, on 24th September 1633, the printing house of the Tallinn Gymnasium was established. It was the second priniting house in Estonia, after the University of Tartu. The Tallinn printing house was founded by Swedish bookbinder Christoph Reusner who brought his printing equipment over from Stockholm. During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries Reusuer's printing house was the most important printing house in Tallinn. It printed many literary works that were of great importance in the development of Estonian language and cultural history. The first translations of The New Testament and Bible into Estonian were printed at Reusner's printing house.
