Also known as Latin Vulgate

The Vulgate () is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It is largely the work of Saint Jerome who, in 382, had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Gospels used by the Roman Church. Later, of his own initiative, Jerome extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible.

AI overview

The Vulgate is a Latin translation of the Bible completed in the late 4th century, primarily by Saint Jerome, who was commissioned by Pope Damasus I in 382 to revise the Gospels used by the Roman Church. It matters because Jerome later expanded this work to translate most of the Bible into Latin, creating a version that became foundational to the Roman Catholic Church and Western Christian tradition.
