The first Braille Bible was printed in 1834 by Louis Braille, a blind Frenchman who invented the Braille system. Braille Bibles have since become important tools for blind and visually impaired people worldwide, enabling access to religious texts through touch.
The first Braille Bibles were printed in the mid-19th century. Louis Braille, who invented the raised dot system for blind readers, conceived the idea of a Braille Bible and it was eventually produced in 1837.
The earliest bibles - indeed all books - were written by hand, the first printed bible was the Guttenberg Bible, printed in 1454 or 1455.
They printed there first Gideon bible in the year 1908.
Gutenberg printed bibles shortly after inventing his version of the printing press, around 1453.
When Bibles were printed in the vernacular, the first and most important thing that people could do was to read the Bible for themselves. This lead to some people beginning to question and even doubt what they read in the Bible. In the end, people could think for themselves.
There was a proofreading error in the first printing, where Ruth was referred to be the pronoun "he." The proofreader who stood next to the press and read the pages as they came off noticed the mistake and the page was reset. Bibles printed before the correction were "he" bibles and the corrected edition were "she" bibles.
The first printed Bible was the Gutenberg Bible. (It wasn't printed in English.) I personally use the King James Version. If you want to get extremely technical, the original text for all Bibles comes from mainly the original Greek and Hebrew writings.
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.

There is no definitive number of Bibles that have been made since the first one was printed in the 15th century. However, it is estimated that billions of copies have been produced and distributed worldwide over the centuries, making it one of the most widely circulated books in history.
Louis Braille was the first person to know Braille, because he invented it. He then taught it to other blind students.
Yes, it is true that under English law, bibles could not be printed in the thirteen colonies without a license from the Crown. This restriction was part of broader regulations controlling printing and publication, as the English government sought to maintain authority over religious texts. However, this changed in the mid-18th century when the first complete English-language Bible was printed in the colonies by Robert Aitken in 1782, with permission from Congress.
