B. Gutenberg's Bible (1456).

 The Gutenberg Bible, printed by Johann Gutenberg in 1456, was the first major work in the Western World that was produced through the printing press, which Gutenberg and Johann Fuss created. This bible was the first to become available to people in more than one written text. The Gutenberg Bible is sometimes called the Mazarin Bible because the first bible was found in the Paris library of Cardinal Mazarin. This bible had no page numbers or a title page; there was nothing to distinguish it from other works of literature. Its majestic gothic style was both medieval and a bit less compressed and less pointed than other examples that appeared shortly after.
