The Holy Bible is not one book, but a collection of many writings by many different people, in different languages, over many years, but basically the Old Testament is the holy writings of the Jewish people which Christians also believe is the word of God as passed down to mankind.
The followers of Jesus (Christians) believe that the New Testament, which covers the life of Jesus Christ, tells about his life and works. The New Testament is also a collection of ancient writings, the authors of which are mainly unknown, however, these writings have been handed down over two thousand years.
The first time the Bible was mass produced was in Germany around 1452 and was a version based on the Latin edition from about 380 AD.. The Bible was printed at Mainz, Germany by Johannes Gutenberg from 1452 -1455.

The Bible really is an amazing book. It wasn't originally in Latin. The Old Testament (OT) was written primarily in Hebrew, while the New Testament (NT) was mainly written in Greek. The OT is the old covenant between God and man and is the basis for the Jewish faith. The NT is the new covenant between God and man with the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the main focus. The Bible as a whole was written over the course of around 4000 years by 44 authors of different ages, professions and nationalities on 3 different continents.

The Bible wasn't written as such. Letters were written for the usual reasons - to convey information to people in another locality. Accounts of what people had witnessed were written down for the usual reasons - to remember the details, and pass them on to others. The Bible is a collection of many such documents written by various people in various times and places. At the end of the 4th Century the bishops of the Catholic Church gathered together all the writings being used in Catholic worship throughout the known world. In prayer they discerned which of these writings could definitively be said to be divinely inspired. They bound these 73 texts into a book called the Bible, which means, in Greek, "the book".

The Old Testament was cobbled together by some rabbis in the first or second century AD, based on older scripts and their own preferences for piecing together a religion since the Romans had cleaned their clock in 70 AD.
The New Testament was cobbled together by the Council of Nicaea at the request of Emperor Constantine of Rome in 325 AD. The Council also included the Old Testament, as an afterthought.

The Greeks, the Aramaic Preshitta bible. The King James was written about 1622. I think there was about 5 translations before him. The OT is the history of what led up to the NT and the new covenant with Christ.

Different parts were written by different people in different centuries, often for different reasons. As for how old it is, well that depends on which translation you're talking about. It was first compiled at The Council of Carthage on August 28th, 397 CE. The King James Version didn't come out until 1611.

The Bible is a collection of Books by different authors. The Old Testament consists of Torah and missing scrolls first propagated by memory and then written in Hebrew by priests who feared the words would be lost. The new testament is written by the Apostles, (Hebrews author unknown) with the exception of Luke who became a Christian after Jesus' Crucifixion. The Books of the Bible are considered historically correct for the most part. Christianity, as such, did not develop until after Jesus' Crucifixion and the Apostle Paul spent much of his life writing most of the New Testament as revealed to him by Jesus, living, and the Holy Spirit, after Jesus Ascension. Many, many Christians were cruelly killed for attempting to translate the New Testament into English. King James of England facilitated the translation by commissioning the written word for his own study. Newer English/American translations are generally derived from the King James version. Many priests, Apostles, and saints prayed over the translation throughout different times of its development and it is said to be inspired by the Holy Spirit as well as the letters of Paul and the Disciples of Jesus Christ. The entire Bible, in English, is said to be wholly inspired by revelation of the Holy Ghost. This is a very short summary of a complicated compilation of the Word of God. I hope it answers some of your questions. If you do a search for the writing of the Bible, you will find thousands of references to study.
