Surviving: 12 on vellum and 36 on paper. Today it would probably be impossible for an individual to buy a copy, as they are almost all in institutions. There are 14 copies in the US, including one in the LIbrary of Congress that is supposed to be the finest one in existence. <br />http://www.clausenbooks.com/gutenbergcensus.htmkathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-36129502568113415532010-02-02T22:37:23.111-05:002010-02-02T22:37:23.111-05:00I did not know the Gutenberg Bible was on display ...I did not know the Gutenberg Bible was on display anywhere.
