The Gutenberg Bible, printed in the 1450s by Johannes Gutenberg, is one of the earliest major books produced using movable type printing. This revolutionary technology allowed for the mass production of texts, making books more accessible and affordable. The Gutenberg Bible is notable for its high-quality craftsmanship and beautiful illustrations, featuring Latin text from the Vulgate translation of the Bible. Only about 180 copies of the Gutenberg Bible are known to exist today, with some in complete condition and others in fragments. It is considered a landmark in the history of printing and has had a profound impact on literacy and the spread of knowledge in Europe and beyond.
