The reason why this object relates to Big Era Five is through cultural exchange primarily after Johann Fust prints the bible. This is because with the mass production of bibles, more common classes of humans are then allowed to learn and buy these printed copies of manufactured articles. In this sense, these common classes are learning about the bible because it’s now more efficient to manufacture this. An example of this in play is that before scholars needed to hand write items making these books more sentimentally valuable. Now, because of this new interaction with books, people could then learn about a particular religion (via stimulating spiritual arts and moral codes). Therefore there are more commonalities where people could learn from each other through these books and connect through humans and humans. This then relates to cultural exchange through big era five because essential questions and key themes are being expressed.
