I don’t know about hard-copy but you can use a website of mine at:
whereinthebible.org

On the site, Douay-Rheims is selected by default but you can select ‘Latin Vulgate’. It does provide a search function.

Try it out - I built the application for my own use but put onto public domain for others to use as well.
 
If you get the Navarre Bible Commentary, it contains the New Latin Vulgate, along with the RSV-CE.
 
I bought mine from Amazon. (Yes, I was surprised they had it, but it’s there).

Ron conte will probably have my head for saying this, but there are three editions known as “the Vulgate” in circulation; to wit,
this was the Church’s “official” version for over 350 years and is the version from which the Douay-Rheims was translated;
it’s on the Vatican website (unfortunately, so is the NAB, but that’s another story!);
the Stuttgart is NOT a Catholic publication, and has not been approved by the Catholic Church.

Which one was the one that the Douay-Rhemis was translated from? The Clementine Vulgate or the Nova Vulgata?

The D-R was translated from the Clementine Vulgate.

The Nova Vulgata was released in 1979. To date, there is no English translation of the N-V.
 
Pray that before jesus returns that at least one Catholic in the world will be brave enough to translate the Nova Vulgata into English.

Why would it kill people tho hear the translation of the Nova Vulgata into English?

No, it doesn’t look like it. I also had a review of the one I bought posted, but its not there, so I know its not that one…🤷

I dunno…That’s the trouble with ordering online. I like to actually hold my books before buying…But That’s not the one I have. It’s even a different price than I paid…(The one there now is cheaper).
The “Biblia Sacra Vulgata” sold on amazon.com, Barnes&Noble, etc. is the Stuttgart edition. It’s easy to identify: no punctuation or capitalization.

I have capitalization, but no punctuation.🤷 🤷 This is confusing…I’ll have to compare mine’s text to the one on drbo, whcih is what I had been using before…

You’re right, Zooey; the Stuttgart does have capitalization. I was referring to capitalizing words at the beginnings of sentences, which are hard to locate since there’s also no punctuation to mark the end of same!
