Correct response: Who is Johannes Gutenberg?

More Information About Final Jeopardy!:

When he was still a secretary to the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Emperor in 1454, the future Pope Pius II, in attendance at the Frankfurt Fair that year, and excitedly told a Spanish cardinal that the print on the famous Gutenberg Bible was so clear that "you could read them without your glasses". while also expressing disappointment that the entire press run of 180 copies had already been purchased.

I suspect that a lot of guesses today are going to be of figures from the world of art, despite the fact that the only "Ninja Turtle" artist who would fit the time frame is Donatello. We shall see how it plays.
