The Benedictine Vulgate, also called Vatican Vulgate

critical edition of the Vulgate version of the Old Testament, Catholic deuterocanonical books
included.

The edition was supported by and begun at the instigation of the Catholic Church, and was done by the

Benedictine monks of the pontifical Abbey of St Jerome-in-the-City
. The edition was published progressively from 1926 to 1995, in 18 volumes.

History

In 1907,

Clementine edition.[4]

The first volume, the

Pentateuch, completed in 1926, lists as primary editor Henri Quentin, whose editorial methods, described in his book Mémoire sur l'établissement du texte de la Vulgate,[5] proved to be somewhat controversial.[6][7]

The Roman Vulgate reunited the Book of Ezra and the Book of Nehemiah into a single book, reversing the decisions of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate.

In 1933, Pope Pius XI established the Pontifical Abbey of St Jerome-in-the-City to complete the work.[8]

By the 1970s, as a result of liturgical changes that had spurred the Vatican to produce a new translation of the Latin Bible, the Nova Vulgata, the Benedictine edition was no longer required for official purposes,[9] and the abbey was suppressed in 1984.[10] Five monks were nonetheless allowed to complete the final two volumes of the Old Testament, which were published under the abbey's name in 1987 and 1995.[11]
