Where can I purchase a copy of the Vulgate as per the work of St Jerome and declared to be the definitive version of the Bible in 1546 by the Council of Trent?

bookdepository.com/Biblia-Sacra-Vulgata-Roger-Gryson/9781598561784

This did look like a good candidate until another website claims that it includes a Latin introduction, and expanded Apocrypha: Psalm 151, Epistle to the Laodiceans, 3 & 4 Esdras, and the Prayer of Manasses. Hendrickson Publishers distributing for German Bible Society.

By the way, I need a place that will ship to Sydney, Australia within the next 14 days!
 
This is apparently different either from the officially used (Breviarium, Missal) Clementine text, and from the Stuttgart text. (Both are available on the internet for free).

I would by instead a bilingual Clementine, like from Baronius press.
 
Yes, the Clementine is what I believe would be referred to in modern parlance as an older critical edition of the Vulgate.
 
The Clementine Vulgate is what you want if you are looking for the version that was official up until VII. Baronius Press’ version, which I have ordered, is, however, on backorder until June. I would try, if I were you, to go to lulu.com and search there for Michael Tweedale’s version (search Clementine Vulgate). It isn’t anything for looks, but I think its the version used in Baronius Press’ publication. It should be the first one on the search.
 
Another edition of the Clementine Vulgate is available through the American Classical League – Pricier, but with some other nice features ( a couple of maps, Ecclesiastical documents, cross-references, et cetera).

No idea about timing/cost to ship to Australia, but you might look for something more local. ISBN: 84-7914-021-6
(A couple of years ago I picked up an older (1965 I think) edition from a used book site at 1/4 the price!)

Are there any copies of St Jerome’s Vulgate still in existence?
 
Just to clarify things, what I am after is a copy of the Bible which has the identical text to The Clementine Vulgata as per the work of St Jerome - the text that was declared by the church in 1546 to be the true and authentic version of the Holy Scriptures.

This will be difficult, since the Clementine Vulgate was issued half a century after 1546.

And, obviously, there are differences between the Clementine edition (or Sixto-Clementine, as it is often called) and editions that had previously been in circulation, so one has to look with a bit of a critical eye on declarations of exactly what is “true and authentic.” After all, if the Bible in 1546 was the “Bible to end all Bibles,” then no subsequent Pope would have bothered having new editions drawn up.

This is not the St. Jerome Vulgate in English! 😦

St. Jerome translated the Bible into Latin. What you present here is another English translation of a text in Latin. That means that the translator as made assumptions an took liberties in order to convey the meaning of the Latin text in a manner that he thought consistent with the meaning expressed in the English language.

BTW I am not saying that Ron Conte did a poor job. I am simply saying that this is just another translation.
 
I mean, someone translate the latin vulgate bible into english.

The first page of the bible reads like this

The Holy Bible
Catholic Public Domain Version
Original Edition
Translated from
the Pope Sixtus V and Pope Clement VIII
Latin Vulgate Bible,
using the Challoner Douay Version as a guide,
in accord with the teachings of the
Roman Catholic Church.
Translation completed on March 28, 2009.

To me, it has been my favorite bible ever since. The Latin Vulgate, in english translation. Because I cannot read latin:blush:

My second is the Jerusalem/New Jerusalem bible:
catholic.org/bible/

If you can read latin, here’s the Latin-English Link, with commentary.

The bible that is used is really Latin Vulgate.
It’s the treasure of the catholic faith, without errors.

sacredbible.org/studybible/index.htm

I think Douay-Rheims bible is the Latin Vulgate translation in English.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douay%E2%80%93Rheims_Bible

It’s different than KJV where they alter the words or phrases here and there, especially in the psalms.

You can make your own comparison with the English translation of the Latin vulgate:
sacredbible.org/files/CPDV%2010pt%208.5x11%20final.pdf

and you will be surprised.

If me, I was a little mad:shrug: Coz how come the words of God be translated according to the will of each person without permission, even making big alterations…
Which changes the meaning completely, or confuse the readers.
While the latin vulgate is simple and easy to understand.

May the merciful Jesus bless you and grant you his mercy

Because, unless it’s a copyright infringement, free speech permits it?

If that makes you so mad why do you use and suggest a Bible that does not have any nihil obstat and imprimatur? :confused:
 
I admit I made a mistake…

I’m new to this whole catholic bible.

I thought all bibles are the same…

It turns out that we DO have catholic bibles, glad to know.

I just knew about the Latin Vulgate and Douay Rheims just some months ago. It gives many lights.

Here I recommend the catholic bibles:

Douay Rheims Bible: drbo.org/
New Jerusalem Bible: catholic.org/bible/
New American Bible: vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/_INDEX.HTM

You can download this bible using this free program:
download.cnet.com/WinWSD-WebS…-10562531.html

Actually the bible that I use from the site sacredbible.org/
is really translated by this guy named Ron, it isn’t approved by the holy see, but I liked it a lot.

It says a new translation of the Latin Vulgate, using the Douay Rheims as a guide. He named it Catholic Public Domain Version.

I found it when I was looking for a free catholic bible in pdf form to download. And is really satisfied. I read the psalms every day, as a breviary.

That depends on each person though.

I personally recommend the Douay Rheims bible (drbo.org/). It is with excellent commentaries. Read it every day. It will help your faith.

Reading the scriptures has become a joy to me now

Sorry guys for the confusion
