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: http://kuhttp.cc.ukans.edu/carrie/stacks/vulgate_main.html cc: Stefan li Rous for his Florilegium files Subject: Re: a brief question Date: Wed, 21 Apr 99 16:59:57 MST From: Gunnora Hallakarva To: "Mark.S Harris (rsve60)" CC: jip at golden.net > I have found a motto from Psalms, 35- 1-36, which states "God is my > salvation" as written by David. What would this be in Latin? > > Nathan Meyer 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.

Goettingen Gutenberg Bible [Flash] http://www.gutenbergdigital.de/ "The Goettingen State and University Library has announced the final version of its digitized Gutenberg Bible. All 1,282 pages of the Bible, one of only four complete, illuminated copies on vellum, have been scanned and placed online in both German and English versions. Visitors can browse the text by Book via a pull-down menu and then select pages to view as double or single pages, the latter providing the largest image. Eighty-eight of the pages are illuminated and partly gilded and may be viewed separately. In addition to the Bible, the site also offers two digitized documents: "the Goettingen Model Book, a contemporary manuscript which provided the patterns for the decoration of the Goettingen Bible; and the famous Helmasperger's Notarial Instrument (6th November 1455), dealing with Gutenberg's invention, known as the 'Werk der Buecher' (work of books) and Gutenberg's business relations with Johannes Fust." Also included are brief features on Gutenberg's life and printing. The Goettingen State and University Library is to be thanked for making this rare and beautiful text freely available to the world.

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/ Thomas Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:09:08 +1100 From: Miriam Staples Subject: [Lochac] Manuscripts on-line To: lochac at lochac.sca.org I posted this to FB, but people might be interested if I posted here too. The Prado Hagaddah- http://www.jtslibrarytreasures.org/prato/prato.html The Aleppo Codex- http://www.aleppocodex.org/ The Prado Hagaddah has quite a few unfinished pages (for all scribes out there!) and the Aleppo Codex is the oldest hebrew bible in existence.
