Who printed the Gutenberg Bible in the 15th century?

Johannes Gutenberg printed the Gutenberg Bible in the 15th century.

Gutenberg was a German goldsmith, inventor and printer associated with Mainz. Around 1450, he developed a practical European system of printing with movable metal type, oil-based ink and a press adapted from existing technologies.

The Gutenberg Bible, also called the 42-line Bible, was produced in Mainz around 1455. It was printed in Latin and is widely regarded as the first major book produced with movable metal type in Europe, although woodblock printing and earlier forms of movable type already existed elsewhere in Asia.

Gutenberg’s business partnership with Johann Fust ended in a legal dispute, and Peter Schoeffer later became a prominent printer. Gutenberg’s achievement helped make books faster and more widely reproducible, accelerating the spread of learning in Europe.
