The Vulgate was primarily the work of St. Jerome who translated the Bible into Latin in the late 300s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgate Jerome was born in Stridon near Dalmatia. He was not English. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerome
The Vulgate did not become the Catholic Church's official version until the mid 1500s at the Counsel of Trent.
It's wonderful that you agree with me! By your own statement Jerome's Vulgate wasn't an official Bible. It was just a collection of stories. And the other people came after Wycliffe.
Thanks for your support.
My do we like to misrepresent others don't we? The Vulgate did become the Catholics official version and I said so. The Vulgate was a complete translation of the Old and New Testaments. Not just a collection of stories. It did become the Catholics official version.
Wycliffe translated the Vulgate, making his work a English translation of a Latin translation. http://www.greatsite.com/timeline-englis...e-history/ The King James Bible translated the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek and did not rely of the Vulgate.
Wycliff did not invent the Bible.
If you have the remotest interest in how the New Testament was actually canonized and preserved and copied over time and where Jerome and others got copies of the Bible in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek to translate, I recommend Misquoting Jesus, by Bart Ehrman.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
