Subject: Translations from the Latin Vulgate Bible

Greetings from Gunnora Hallakarva -
<snip>
The Bible most often used in the Middle Ages is termed the Vulgate Bible, and
is written in a somewhat debased form of Latin which we call Church Latin. The
Vulgate was compiled by Jerome (c. 347-420), who began his work in 382. In 386
he moved to Bethlehem and worked on the Old Testament. He began on using the
Greek LXX, but quickly decided to work directly from the Hebrew. In 405 the Old
Testament, as well as the rest of the New Testament was completed. Due to older
Latin texts in circulation, Jerome's work was not widely popular until the
ninth century. The influence of Jerome's Bible was quite extensive. For
instance, the first knowledge of the Bible in the British Isles was from the
Vulgate.
The complete Latin text of the Vulgate may be found on-line at:

What you need is to find a copy of the Vulgate Bible. There are probably
several versions on-line, one being at the University of Kansas at
http://www.cc.ukans.edu/carrie/stacks/vulgate_main.html
The Vulgate was written by Jerome (c. 347-420) beginning in 382 AD.
Although he started with the Greek text of the Old Testament, in 386
Jerome moved to Bethlehem to work on the Old Testament in consultation
with Jewish experts, working from the Hebrew.Jerome completed his
translation of the Old and New Testaments in 405 AD.

Good People of Bryn Gwlad,
The big news on campus is that the Gutenberg Bible is in the process of
being digitalized so that its pages may be viewed electronically (and
printed)! There's an excellent website which provides an interesting
history of Johann Gutenberg (1400-1468), and the printing of this book. It
also displays three passages with translations, and 9 full pages without
translations: http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/exhibitions/permanent/gutenberg/
