Biblia Sacra Vulgata (Vulgate): Holy Bible in Latin (Latin Edition)

I like to use it as a Latin text for learning Latin.

I love this translation of the Bible. I think every Catholic should try to learn Latin and read this Bible. It really is an excellent translation. The notes are magnificent if a bit confusing at first. But once you know what the small letters mean, then you are good to go. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the book I received. Some of the pages had become bent. A small issue, however. I'm very happy with the purchase! Thank you Amazon for getting it to me so quickly!

I give this book its high rating mostly based on aesthetic value. I love the paper, the binding is perfect, the print is impeccable, and the size is a force for good in my life. Though I would consider myself an agnostic humanist, I have grown to appreciate the Bible very much for its contents of humanity. The Latin makes that cultural experience even more fantastic. I have not fully immersed myself yet and maybe I am writing this review too hastily, yet I already feel like this book will last a long time on my shelf and be much loved.

Well constructed, good layout and print.

Most other editions "correct" the Latin readings from modern critical Greek and Hebrew/Aramaic editions. In contrast, this is a semi-critical reconstruction of a translation into Latin (mostly by Jerome) from manuscripts that were older than any that are now known. As such, it is an independent witness to the original readings of the Scriptures, complementing critical editions in Greek or Hebrew/Aramaic.Catholic readers looking for a Latin edition that is official for use in Roman rites should purchase The Nova Vulgata (Bibliorum Sacrorum nova vulgata editio), also known as the Neo-Vulgate, which is the text included in the Nestle-Aland Greek-Latin edition of the New Testament.The Vulgate contains books that were reputedly included in spite of Jerome's personal objections to them. While those books are considered noncanonical, either by Protestants or by both Protestants and Catholics, they help provide background for our understanding of the other books.This edition's textured hard binding appears to be substantial, but it font is fairly small, and its paper is extremely thin and very fragile.

I was very pleased with this book. It has been a wonderful tool in learning Latin. For all of you Protestants out there, don't get tripped up with the numbering of the Psalms. The Catholic Bible combines Psalms 9 & 10 and separates Psalm 145. So for example, Psalm 119 is labeled Psalm 118.

This book is, quite obviously, great. Its biggest fault is that the pages are far too thin and fragile; it would have been better had it been published with a greater length and width so as to allow for thicker paper. The symbols showing different manuscript sources are also sometimes a bit too ubiquitous, and choke the text itself. But I like that the text maintains the old manuscript look (little punctuation, etc.), whereas I think the Vatican copies's texts probably look more modern.A great buy.

Heads up, kids. This bible is in LATIN. To be very clear, this bible is exactly what it claims to be. I confess I thought it would be a little more: a bible with Latin text and some English footnotes and an English introduction and English annotations. This it is not. Picture a regular English bible, then picture the same bible in Latin. That is this bible. Introduction, footnotes, annotations, table of contents all in Latin.Nothing wrong with this! The description did not explicitly claim anything otherwise. I just want to make sure you know what you're getting.The product itself is of medium-high quality. It's a little smaller than I hoped (but again, not inconsistent with the product description). The pages are thin, but very, well, biblical. It lays flat fairly well, and is very portable.Overall just a bit overpriced, in my opinion, but still good to have on the shelf, even for the recreational scholar such as myself.

Ótimo

Beautifully made. Very small print.I dont understand why amazon does not have the later edition as of December 2020 they are on their 11th edition however this 5th edition was printed in 2007. Other than that. This is a beautiful book.

Excelente calidad y total dedicación. Sin duda alguna te apasiona estudiar la Sagrada Escritura al tener esta Biblia en tus manos. La recomiendo ampliamente. Buen trabajo.

Super, il n'y a pas de ponctuation comme je l'ai lu mais chaque verset fait un tout, ce n'est donc pas gênant. En latin on préfère les conjonctions de coordination à la ponctuation. La facture du livre est très bonne, papier de bonne qualité etc...

Weber-Gryson Biblia Sacra Vulgata is my most favourite Latin Bible and my another favourite Bible. I should tell everyone that it is one of the most complete Bibles in the world. I wish may every Christian read this Great Bible.
