Detailed Solution

The Bible was the first book printed by Gutenberg.
The Johannes Gutenberg Bible, the ‘42-line Bible’ or the ‘Mazarin Bible’, is the initial complete Western manuscript. It is one of the primary books to be written by movable kind. The Bible is named after its publisher and printer, who completed it in 1455 in Mainz, Germany. Johannes Gutenberg was the son of a bourgeois and grew up on an oversized farm. From his youth on, he saw wine presses and olive groves. Later, he learned the art of sprucing stones, became a talented goldsmith, and bought the technology needed to create lead moulds to create trinkets. By using this information, Johannes Gutenberg custom-made the prevailing technology to suit his new invention. The olive press was an example of a machine, and moulds were often used to create metal cylinders. In 1448, Johannes Gutenberg completed the program. The primary book he wrote was the Bible. A total of one hundred eighty copies were written, and it took three years to provide them. In step with current standards, this was a speedy production.
