Hypertext Webster Gateway: "Vulgate"
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)
Vulgate \Vul"gate\, n. [NL. vulgata, from L. vulgatus usual,
common, p. p. of vulgare to make general, or common, fr.
vulgus the multitude: cf. F. vulgate. See {Vulgar}, a.]
An ancient Latin version of the Scripture, and the only
version which the Roman Church admits to be authentic; -- so
called from its common use in the Latin Church.
Note: The Vulgate was made by Jerome at the close of the 4th
century. The Old Testament he translated mostly from
the Hebrew and Chaldaic, and the New Testament he
revised from an older Latin version. The Douay version,
so called, is an English translation from the Vulgate.
See {Douay Bible}.
