AnswerThere is not really an 'original' Bible. The Jews in the last centuries before the time of Jesus began to write scriptures that took on religious or historical significance for them. Gradually the books of law were regarded as special, and were collectively known as the Torah, a term that later came to be used at times for all the books of the Hebrew Bible. Nevertheless, each book was written on a separate scroll and, apart from the Torah, or Pentateuch, there was no consensus as to exactly which books should form a special canon or Bible.

The Council of Jamnia is believed to have defined the canon of what could arguably be called the original Bible, the Hebrew Bible, around 90 CE. Of course this does not include the New Testament and so, from a Christian perspective, was incomplete.

How can you tell you have an original Bible?

I have a degree in Biblical Studies and I've never heard of a Bible referred to as "an original Bible." The original manuscripts (autographs) of the books that became the canon (our Bible) are not extant (still in existence). Bibles are mass-produced. They are printed from electronic copy by the company that owns the license for that particular translation. No Bible is more or less original than others.
