That to my knowledge is the first book ever printed, what century is that? they did have block printing previous to this but that is still not actual printing b/c of the process it took to make a book, most stuff was still monks & scrolls

printing the bible in the 14th century was done from the hand-written pieces that were pass up through the generations...they didn't just make it up out of no where...they are all the different books that the bible were made up from...you may have heard of some of the authors; mathew, mark, luke, john, job...they didn't just title the books randomly...lol, acts is about the acts of god, etc...

not sure if you were thinking they decided to write the bible in the 14th century??
