Gutenberg Bible not avail. in plain text?

Hi!

Reading the Babel text in Latin, I stumbled over the following funny
factoid.  This is an image of a copy of the Gutenberg Bible version:

1:
  http://prodigi.bl.uk/treasures/gutenberg/pagemax.asp?Page=9r&vol=1&strCopy=G&strResize=no

And this is (one of?) the Latin plain text versions available on the
Internet:

2:
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=1&chapter=11&version=4


Now, in the last sentence of the Babel text, the two differ:

  1: Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius babel...
     (first column, middle)

  2: Et idcirco vocatum est nomen eius babel...


I suppose there are several Latin versions around due to
errors/modifications during manual copying, but I found it interesting
that of all things the Gutenberg version is obviously not indexed as a
plain text in Google.  If you search for #1, there are no hits:

  http://www.google.com/search?safe=off&q=%22et+idcirco+vocatum+est+nomen+loci+illius+babel%22

(Without 'babel', there are some hits.)

But just ignore me in case you don't find this interesting. :-)

Bye,
  Henrik
