Gutenberg Bible copy at the Library of Congress

The Library of Congress holds an early printed copy of the Gutenberg Bible among its rare book and special collections, representing one of the earliest major books produced with movable metal type in the West. The copy is part of the Library’s rare holdings used for research, exhibitions, and conservation study, and it illustrates the transition from manuscript to print culture in early modern Europe. The Library provides curatorial access and public interpretation for scholars and visitors interested in early printing history.
