It is not known who made the first Bible in book (or 'folio') form, but it is believed to be before the !st century AD. This is because The Bible is made up of separate Books, and each book was originally hand-written on its own individual scroll. However, they were unwieldy and impractical for personal use, especially when multiple scrolls were involved. For greater practical use and portability, scrolls was hand- copied onto the (many) individual sheets of parchment required, and these were then bound together in folio form, ie just like a modern book with individual pages.
This book-making was even more time-consuming and laborious than that of scrolls, so it could therefore be afforded only by the rich or those who had rich benefactors, but by the end of the 1st Century AD it was increasingly-common for rich people and their churches to have their own copies of the Scriptures.
The Apostle Paul certainly did, and some commentators (such as Adam Clarke) have conjectured that by 'books' he meant the Septuagint (ie the Greek copy of the Hebrew Scriptures) while the parchments comprised his letters :-
2Ti 4:13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
In Medieval times these Bibles developed to become works of art, with multi-coloured inks, being highly-elaborate, with much decoration, and many paintings, but they were still all printed by hand.
The first Bible in book form, printed with moveable metal type, was the 'Gutenberg Bible' (sometimes called the 'Mazarin' Bible) about 1455 [the exact printing date is unknown]. In his book "Dictionary of World Biography" Barry Jones describes it as
...a magnificent edition (in Latin) of 1282 folio pages in double columns, each of 42 lines of Gothic type, decorated by coloured woodcuts in the margin.
The Bible was written first, over a number of centuries from around 1400 BC and was in its final form centuries before the Qran existed..
i think cause it is very important to the world so they made it differently.
The aposels were the ones who made the first bible. They were dictated from our almighty God!
I think that the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C. has one of the early ones that were printed. The first books of the Bible were handwritten and copied over the past few thousand years on papyrus, scrolls and other materials. The early church put them into book form--the Bible--and they were mostly in Greek. Later, they were translated into different languages and began to be printed once the printing press was invented.
Eve, the first woman in the Bible was made out of one of Adam's (the first man) ribs when God put him to sleep.
Actually, according to the Bible God made days, explained in the first book, Genesis.
