Vulgate

The Vulgate is a Latin translation of the Bible, completed in the late 4th century by Saint Jerome. It became the standard version of Scripture used by the Catholic Church for centuries. By translating the Bible into Latin, it made the texts more accessible to scholars and clergy of the time. The Vulgate played a significant role in shaping Christian theology, liturgy, and art throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. Today, it is considered a historical and religious landmark, helping preserve the biblical text and influence many translations that followed.
