Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Gutenberg Bible, also called 42-line Bible was the first complete book extant in the West and one of the earliest printed from movable type, so called after its printer, Johannes Gutenberg. Gutenbarg completed it in 1455 while working at Mainz, Germany. The three-volume work, in Latin text, was printed in 42-line columns and, in its later stages of production, was worked on by six compositors simultaneously. It is sometimes referred to as the Mazarin Bible because the first copy described by bibliographers was located in the Paris library of Cardinal Mazarin. The Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings (1377), also known as Jikji, was printed in Korea 78 years before the Gutenberg Bible and is recognized as the world's oldest extant movable metal type book.
Like other contemporary works, the Gutenberg Bible had no title page, no page numbers, and no innovations to distinguish it from the work of a manuscript copyist. This was presumably the desire of both Gutenberg and his customers. Experts are generally agreed that the Bible, though uneconomic in its use of space, displays a technical efficiency not substantially improved upon before the 19th century. The Gothic type is majestic in appearance, medieval in feeling, and slightly less compressed and less pointed than other examples that appeared shortly thereafter.
The original number of copies of this work is unknown; some 40 are still in existence. There are perfect vellum copies kept in the U.S. Library of Congress, the French Bibliothèque Nationale, and the British Library. In the United States almost complete texts are preserved in the Huntington, Morgan, New York Public, Harvard University, and Yale University libraries.

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
