The Vulgate is significant not only as a translation of the Bible but also as a foundational text in the history of Christianity, influencing theology, liturgy, and culture in the Western world for centuries. Jerome set out to provide as accurate and consistent a translation of the Bible into Latin as possible. Most of the Old Testament books are Jerome's translations from the Hebrew (as opposed to other Latin versions that were translated from the Septuagint). The present volume of the Biblia Sacra Vulgata reflects the official Roman edition by Clement (1592), including the selection and order of biblical books, the absence of punctuation (per cola et commata), and (for the most part) the chapter and verse divisions. For all that, however, it is a new text, based on the careful study of the available manuscripts and indispensable for the academic study of the Latin Bible.
