Constantine did nothing of that sort. He ordered copies of what has probably survived as CODEX VATICANUS and CODEX SINAITICUS (parts of the old testimony). "The bible" is a selection of stories and letters bundled into a book. These selections usually differed wherever you happened to live on the map, and how often the texts changed due to transcription errors and "beautifications" by the transcribers. When people talk about "the bible", they usually mean something that was compiled in the middle ages...
