The Gutenberg Bible was the first major book printed using mass-produced movable type in Europe.
It marked the start of the 'Gutenberg Revolution" and the age of the printed book in the West. The book has an iconic status because of its high aesthetic and artistic qualities.
Written in Latin, the Catholic Gutenberg Bible is an edition of the Vulgate, printed by Johannes Gutenberg, in Mainz, in present-day Germany, in the 1450's.
Since its publication, 49 copies (or substantial portions of copies) have survived, and they are considered to be among the most valuable books in the world, even though no complete copy has been sold since 1978.
In March, 1455, the future Pope Pius II wrote that he has seen pages from the Gutenberg Bible, being displayed to promote the edition, in Frankfurt. it is not known ho many copies were printed, with the 1455 letter citing sources for both 158 and 180 copies.
The Gutenberg Bible, an edition of the Vulgate, contains the Latin version of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament. It is mainly the work of Jerome who began his work on the translation in 380 AD, with emendations from the Parisian Bible tradition, and further divergences (the Paris Bible, one of the many Bible translations in the Middle Ages, is also known as the "Thirteenth-Century Bible", "Old French Bible" or, in French, "Bible du XIIIe siecle").

In other words, the Gutenberg Bible
has NOTHING to do with the King James 1611 Bible.
has NOTHING to do with the King James 1611 Bible.
And so it is obvious that the King James 1611 Bible
has NOTHING to do with the Gutenberg Bible!
has NOTHING to do with the Gutenberg Bible!
