Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1450's and the first book to ever be printed was a Latin language bible printed in Mainz, Germany.
Martin Luther (not the afro-american activist, although their names are exactly the same) translated it and Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing technology. So they have easily spread their German language bibles.
He invented the printing press and was the first person to print the bible WITH the printing press. This was called the Gutenberg Bible.
This date varies a lot according to language and version of the Bible; from about 1450 when the first printing press was invented, right up to the present day where new Bibles and new versions are being printed.

Nope. Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450. The first book he printed was the Bible. Hope that helped! :)
Before the printing press each Bible had to be hand written. They were written in scrolls and there were many scrolls to complete the Bible. With the printing press, the process was sped up. And now the time was shortened from years to just days and more than one could be printed at a time. Each Bible was now in one or two volumes.
The earliest bibles - indeed all books - were written by hand, the first printed bible was the Guttenberg Bible, printed in 1454 or 1455.
The original bible was first written in the greek language. It was then translated into every language in the world. And it is the most sold book in the world.
Johannes Gutenberg was known for inventing the printing press around the year of 1450. He was also known for the Gutenberg bible later created with his own printing press.
