The Original Language of the Gutenberg Bible

The Gutenberg Bible, also known as the 42-line Bible, is predominantly written in Latin. Latin was the scholarly language of the time, as well as the language of the Catholic Church.

Widely accepted by scholars and the Church, the Vulgate became the standard text of the Bible used throughout Europe.
