By that I assume you mean "How many times has the Bible been Translated?" The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages. 2,018 at last count. Some of these many languages have many versions within that language. For example, the Bible has been translated into 24 common English Versions of the Bible, whole or in part.The Bible, or parts thereof, was written in three languages, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek.No one has a clue as to how many copies have been printed. The Bible is the most sold and most stolen book in history.

All I know is that the Bible has been a top bestseller for a long time, and is available in 2426 languages according to Wycliffe Bible Translators. Or did you mean how many copies of the ORIGINAL Bible are in existence? No complete copies of the original Bible are in existence, but many thousands of manuscript fragments are in existence, enough to ensure, by comparing them to each other, that the Bible we have today is quite accurate. By contrast, many ancient works that are accepted as being totally accurate today, have only ONE copy left to us now.
One thought:I can provide a partial answer...The Bible was written originally in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, and there were already many handwritten copies in these languages and certain Egyptian dialects in existence by the 3rd century.

Who Printed the Bible depends of what langue you are talking about and what you mean by print. The very first part of the Bible was written by God Himself (Exo 31:18). In Exodus we read that the Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God. The Bible was written down by various people used by God, and they faithfully translated and copied throughout the centuries. The first printed book printed on the printing press was the Bible. It was printed by Gutenberg. The Bible printed was in Latin, and was later translated into other languages including English. Printing techniques improved over the next few centuries and now we have the many different versions of Bibles we have now.
