They never resisited that. Bibles in the ancient days were copied (tediously) by hand and were very rare.

What was the first Bible printed by the Guttenberg printing press?

Do you know the answer? Or do you not care?

Given that at the time it was a capital offense to possess or distribute any other translation than the Latin Vulgate - punishable by burning at the stake - my guess is the first bible printed by the Gutenberg press was the Latin Vulgate.
