True. Vulgate. So?

So just keep in mind on what side of the Tiber that grassfire started.

[Gutenberg Bible was Latin] True. Vulgate. So?

So just keep in mind on what side of the Tiber that grassfire started.

What does that mean, and why would it matter?

Gutenberg's contribution wasn't his Bible. It wasn't even movable type. It was durable (lead) movable type. His process was duplicated everywhere, and that lead to cheap printing for future Protestant Bibles in the many languages necessary for the Word to be in the hands of the people.
