The Vulgate is a Latin translation of the Bible that was written by Jerome, a Christian priest and scholar, in the 4th century. Jerome was commissioned by Pope Damasus I to produce a new Latin translation of the Bible that would be more accurate and readable than the existing translations. Jerome worked tirelessly to produce a translation that was faithful to the original Greek and Hebrew texts, and his work became the standard Bible for the Western Christian tradition.
