Does anyone have any reference that the Catholic Church put the Bible together in 397?

It didn’t. The canon of Scripture was not infallibly defined until the Council of Trent, though some regional councils probably addressed it (including the Third Council of Carthage in 397; none of these would be generally binding, though they might serve as expressions of the general sense or mood re: the canon in the Church at the time). Rather the canon sort of evolved over the course of the first few centuries. By the time of Augustine it seems to have been the general opinion that the canon was decided and that discussion on the topic was over.Does anyone have any reference that the Catholic Church put the Bible together in 397?

The Ecumenical Council of Florence ruled that all 73 books of the Tridentine Canon were divinely inspired well before the Council of Trent,It didn’t.

The “Bible” was given to the world by the Catholic Church. The New Testament was written by Catholics; the Gospels before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
The books that actually are declared the inspired Word of God was decided by Pope Damasus at a Council of Rome in 382, confirmed at the Councils of Hippo, 393, Carthage III 397, Carthage IV in 419 and canonised at the Council of Trent (1545-1563) – 46 books in the Old Testament, 27 books in the New Testament.
There was no change in what books are the Word of God between 382 to the Council of Trent…
