Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The 36-line Bible, also known as the "Bamberg Bible",[1] was the second moveable-type-printed edition of the Bible. It is believed to have been printed in Bamberg, Germany, circa 1458–1460. No printer's name appears in the book, but it is possible that Johannes Gutenberg was the printer.[1]
The original Gutenberg Bible is the first moveable-type-printed edition of the Bible, circa 1450–1455, with 42 lines of text on each page in contrast to the Bamberg's 36 lines, and the two Bibles are typically distinguished by this criterion. However, since the 36-line Bible might have been printed by Gutenberg, and was printed at a similar time, it is sometimes loosely referred to as a Gutenberg Bible.
