Happy Friday! Today is the final day of George Stephanopoulos’ hosting stint. Through 4 days, $126,001 has been donated to Share our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category History) for Friday, July 16, 2021 (Season 37, Game 210):

Completed around 1455, it sometimes gets another name because a famous copy was found in the library of Cardinal Mazarin

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s contestants:

Josh Saak, a traffic engineer from Boise, Idaho

Josh Saak on Jeopardy!

Lois Doll, a retired library clerk from Rosemount, Minnesota

Lois Doll on Jeopardy!

Tyler Vandenberg, a Marine officer from Washington, D.C. (2-day total: $41,400)

Tyler Vandenberg on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Tyler is the kind of player who will find the buzzer timing, and then two minutes later has racked up $10,000 because he’s picked up 8-9 clues in a row. Lois and Josh have their work cut out for themselves today.

PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Correct response: What is the Gutenberg Bible?

More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

The Gutenberg Bible is best known as the first book produced on a printing press in Western culture, a copy of the Bible printed by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-1450s. Nearly two centuries later, a copy was found by bibliographers in the library of Cardinal Mazarin in Paris, explaining why it is also called the Mazarin Bible. About 40 copies are still in existence worldwide, including the U.S. Library of Congress.
