Video says Gutenberg printed 180 copies of the Bible. I thought it was way more. I thought the Bible quickly became the most widely circulated book.

At the time, because it was expensive to print such a large book, the only clients of Gutenberg for bible were churches and not regular people.

I can't believe that that man touched the Gutenberg Bible with his bare hands, he should use cotton or latex gloves.

The fibers in cotton gloves are actually more likely to catch and tear pages, so most conservators and scholars find that clean, gloveless hands are the safest way to handle rare books!

It obviously was not the first book, many manuscripts of scripture existed before this. But it acts as one of the first recorded piece of works that was printed using manmade technology i.e. a printing press. Before this manuscripts were put together using scribes and handwritten. They were immense & detailed which took ages to complete one single manuscript. Gutenberg's bible alone comprised of a forty-two-line manuscript of 643 folio leaves (pages) and required a whopping 300 sheep to produce the parchment / paper to fill the book.

Book printing had already started before the gutenberg press started to print the bible, the first printed book was the Dimond Sutra, it was printed in Japan (in 868 AD) , why is the gutenberg bible considered the first printed book?

Good question. I think that Gutenberg is the first typeset printed book, while the Diamond Sutra used wood blocks. The Diamond Sutra is first printed book, but I think the Gutenberg gets more attention because it started a reading revolution since so many people have access to books because of the printing press.
