The Vulgate:
Biblia Sacra
Vulgata, ed. R. Weber and R.
Gryson, 5th corr. ed. (2007). The
online version does not specify which edition is used; the text of the 4th ed.
UIL has 4th ed., 220.47B471 CLR. Standard compact edition of Jerome’s Latin
version, printed per cola et commata without punctuation.
Biblia Sacra iuxta Vulgatam latinam
versionem (Rome, 1926-1987).
q220.47B47 CLR. Benedictine
critical edition commissioned by the Vatican, valuable especially for full
listing of variants readings. Consists of the Old Testament and Apocrypha
supplemented by the Wordswort-White critical text of the New Testament.
Searchable
on-line Vulgate (ARTFL).
Nouum Testamentum latine, ed. John Wordsworth and Henry White (Oxford, 1911).
225.47 B47191 CLR. Standard critical edition of theVulgate New Testament,
valuable for its very full corpus of variants.
Biblia Sacra iuxta Vulgatam versionem (Madrid, 1953). Late (1590-92) Sixto-Clementine
revision of the Vulgate, yet of value for medievalists because it represents a
recension close to the later medieval “Paris text” of the Bible. See also the online Clementine Vulgate Project.
For a searchable and browsable text of the Douay-Rheims
English translation of the Vulgate, see Douay-Rheims
Catholic Bible or The Bible in
English.
Vetus Latina:
Vetus Latina: Die Reste der altlateinischen Bibel (Beuron, 1951- ). Q.220.47B47 CLR. Critical edition
in progress of pre-Vulgate testimonies. An on-line
database is available through Brepols. The edition is supplemented by an
important monograph series: Vetus Latina: Aus der Geschichte der
lateinischen Bibel. 220.47 AU71 CLX. The home-page of the Beuron Vetus Latina
project has many valuable resources.
Pierre Sabbathier, Bibliorum sacrorum
latinae versiones antiquae, seu Vetus Italica, 3 vols. in 6 (Rheims 1739-49, Paris, 1751; rep. Turnhout, 1976).
000Film 8610 RBR reels 1,2,3. Pending completion of the Beuron edition, this is
still the standard complete edition of the pre-Vulgate Latin texts.
On these and other versions of the Latin
Bible relevant for medieval studies, see Kaske, Medieval Christian Literary
Imagery, pp. 1-7; Berlioz, Identifier
sources et citations, pp. 13-19.
Concordances:
Concordantiae Bibliorum Sacrorum iuxta
Vulgatam versionem, 5 vols.
(Stuttgart, 1977). q220.2F52n CLR. Note that the CLCLT database can in effect be used as a concordance to
the Vulgate; there are also searchable Vulgate concordances on the internet.
Topical Indices:
Any topical analysis of the King James Bible
(e.g., Hitchock’s New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible,
sometimes printed together with Cruden’s Concordance) can effectively serve as
a way to locate passages in the Vulgate according to topic (with the necessary
converstion in titles of books and Psalm numbering). A topical index of
concepts that includes the Bible is Mortimer J. Adler and William Gorman, ed., The
Great Ideas: A Syntopicon of Great Books of the Western World,
2 vols. (Chicago, 1952). KRAUS 808.8 G7981952 RBR. Detailed and highly-articulated topical indices (I: Angel to
Love; II: Man to World) to the University of Chicago Great Books of
the Western World series, includes the Bible (King James references) and
Apocrypha.
The standard biblical encyclopedias can serve
the same function. Some of the most valuable:
F. Vigouroux et al., Dictionnaire de la
Bible, 10 vols. (Paris, 1899-1912)
and Supplement (1928- ).
Gerhard Kittel, Theological Dictionary of
the New Testament, 5 vols., trans.

J.-P. Migne, ed., Patrologiae cursus
completus, Series Latina [=PL or MPL,
“Patrologia Latina”], 221 vols. (Paris, 1844-1880), with Supplementum, 5 vols.,
ed. A. Hamann. 281.1 M58L CLR. Searchable on-line as Patrologia Latina database (UIUC
access only; on-line version does not include the supplement volumes). See
Kaske, Medieval Christian Literary Imagery, pp. 9-11; Berlioz, Identifier sources et citations, pp. 279-94. Attributions of texts in the PL must
always be verified by checking Palémon Glorieux, Pour revaloriser Migne: Tables rectificatives (Lille, 1952), 281.1 M58LYG CLR, the PL Supplementum,
the Clavis Patrum Latinorum,
Machielsen’s Clavis Pseudepigraphorum, and reference works such as the
Dictionnaire de spiritualité. The elaborate subject
indices in vols. 218-221 are still a valuable way to access relevant
passages on topics that may not be easy to reduce to database word searches. Note
that references are sometimes to the pagination of the original
edition reprinted by Migne (in bold type within the text), rather than to the
PL column numbers. The Elucidatio in 235 tabulas Patrologiae Latinae
(Rotterdam, 1952), 281.1 M58LINDEX CLR is a skeletal index to the PL indices;
