Question

Explain the main features of the first printed Bible.

✓

Answer

About 180 copies of the Bible were published and it took three years to produce them. By the standards of the time this was fast production.
The text was printed in the new Gutenberg press with metal type, but the borders were carefully designed, painted and illuminated by hand by artists.
No two copies were the same. Every page of each copy was different. Even those two copies look similar, a careful comparison will reveal differences.
