"What was the first Bible printed by the Guttenberg printing press?"

Given that at the time it was a capital offense to possess or distribute any other translation than the Latin Vulgate - punishable by burning at the stake - my guess is the first bible printed by the Gutenberg press was the Latin Vulgate.
