Blockbook Bible for the poor circa 1465. Each page was printed from a single woodblock, a method that was used for works in high demand. Although this is called a bible for the poor with scenes from Christ's life paralleled by ones from the Old Testament along with an explanatory text, it suggests an educated, well-off readership.
