EDIT: well what do you know… it was Martin Luther himself who translated the famous Gutenberg Bible. Talk about one degree of Kevin Bacon.

Huh? The Gutenberg Bible is a Latin vulgate edition, and it was printed three decades before Luther was even born.

Google threw the following text at me:

Yes, Martin Luther did translate the Gutenberg Bible from Latin, Hebrew, and Greek into German. His translation was then printed at a high number and distributed in 1534. This was one of the first times that the Bible became accessible for the masses in their own language.

So I misunderstood the time jump.
