The Latin translation of the Bible made by St. Jerome in the 4th century.
The Vulgate is the Latin version of the Bible that became the standard text for the Western Church for over a thousand years (CCC 120). St. Jerome translated it primarily from the original Hebrew and Greek texts to provide a 'common' (vulgata) edition.
The Council of Trent declared the Vulgate to be the 'authentic' Latin text for the Church, ensuring its doctrinal accuracy and liturgical use (CCC 120, 131-133).
Is the Vulgate still used? Yes, the 'Nova Vulgata' (New Vulgate) is the current official Latin text of the Catholic Church, used in the Liturgy of the Hours and other official documents.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
