Gutenberg excluded these books from his Bible, probably to save time and money rather than any religious conviction. The King James Version also excludes the same books, so in a sense, the Gutenberg Bible could be considered a Protestant Bible.

Not being a Catholic or Protestant, I am relying on this.....
The Gutenberg Bible . ...
Written in Latin, the Gutenberg Bible is an edition of the Vulgate, printed by Johannes Gutenberg, in Mainz, in present-day Germany, in the 1450s.
Vulgate:..the principal Latin version of the Bible, prepared mainly by St. Jerome in the late 4th century, and (as revised in 1592) adopted as the official text for the Roman Catholic Church.
Are you saying Gutenberg used a abridged version of the Vulgate, and if so, how close, were those exclusions to the subsequent Protestant exclusions? Will any bible excluding some books not included in the Catholic be considered a "Protestant" bible?

"Yup, it was the Catholic Bible in Latin, or the Vulgate Bible. It contained all of the original bboks, even the ones the Protestants call apocrypha."
