Answer:It would've took forever because they did have the printing press that had the stamps and everything, but you ha to write it out with an ink pen. So probably to make a book. It matters how long a book it was, but if it was average, probably a year.

Before the invention of the printing press - sometime between 1440 and 1450 - most European texts were printed using xylography, a form of woodblock printing similar to the Chinese method used to print "The Diamond Sutra" in 868.
