If it really did exist. <g> The actual Gutenberg Bible was not printed
until about 1440. A couple of years after the supposed bible above. And
if the one above did exist, you can bet that it would be well-guarded --
not so much for the family information that might be in it, but for the
historical and collector's value -- museum's would be clamoring for it like
mad. <g>
