This question can be answered in different ways.
The Gutenberg Bible was the first Bible that came off a 'printing press'. That was approx. 1455. In German.
But the Bible was 'hand written' before that. John Wycliffe did one in 1380's. In English.
The Vulgate was the first Latin Bible, approx 400 C.E..
The Greek Septuagint was the first TRANSLATION of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek. That was probably around 300 BC.
Legalism is not a person or a book or Bible but rather a problem. When people focus on God's rules rather than on His mercy, grace, forgivness and the freedom we have in Christ this focus is called "legalism". There is no book for legalism. When someone focuses too much on rules that person is referred to as being "legalistic". Such as when puritans focus on being good rather than God's love. When we only think about rules and punishment for infractions of rules we are forgetting about forgiveness and focusing on being good rather doing good unto others.
There are quite a few names. The Tanakh describes the 3 parts of the Hebrew Bible (Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvi'im).
Torah is the first 5 books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers).
Nevi'im are the prophetic books (like Isaiah and Jeremiah).
Ketuvi'im translates as "writings". These encompass books like Psalms and also history and census data (like Chronicles and Kings).
The Tanakh can also be referred to as a Chumash, Hebrew Bible, among a few other names (depending on the style and what type of translations/commentaries are added if any).
Note: While some may also call it the "Old Testament", Jews consider that inaccurate because there are differences in the translation and sequence of books when comparing a Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of a Christian Bible.
