Wikipedia gives 2191 for "at least New Testament", which I assume means all the books of the New Testament, and 698 for the Old and New Testaments. So it's still #1, since #2 (Le Petit Prince) is at 610.

It wouldn't surprise me if the number for the four Gospels is higher than the full New Testament number.

Yes, and that number is too low because some single books you be translated mroe times.

I am not disputing that. The Bible is far ahead of anything else.

As there are separate translations of the gospels (e.g. the Lindisfarne Gospels) that must be true. I would be interested in know things such as whether any particular gospel has more translations.
