Question: Tell me about the first Latin version of the Christian Bible, known as the Vulgate.
The Vulgate is the first Latin version of the Christian Bible, translated by St. Jerome in the late 4th century. It is an important source for understanding early Christianity, as it was widely read in the Middle Ages. It was widely used in both liturgy and scholarship, and is still the official version of the Bible for the Catholic Church. It is based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, with references to the Septuagint and Old Latin translations where those texts didn't exist. It remains the basis for most translations of the Bible into modern Western languages, including English.
