Clementine Vulgate 1598 (LATCLV)

Overview

Clementine Vulgate of 1598 with Glossa Ordinaria Migne edition 1880 in Latin. The Sixto-Clementine Vulgate is the authoritative edition of the Latin Vulgate promulgated under Pope Clement VIII. Following the Council of Trent's 1546 decree that the Vulgate was the authentic Latin Bible text, Pope Sixtus V published a revised edition in 1590, but it contained numerous errors. [1] After Sixtus V's death in 1590, Pope Clement VIII recalled all copies of the Sixtine edition, citing printing errors, and commissioned a team including Franciscus Toletus and Robert Bellarmine to produce a corrected text based more closely on the Hentenian edition. [1] The revised text was first printed on November 9, 1592, with further corrections issued in a second edition (1593) and a third edition (1598). [1] The 1598 Vatican edition, issued in six volumes, became the definitive text. The Clementine Vulgate remained the standard Bible of the Roman Catholic Church until 1979, when it was replaced by the Nova Vulgata promulgated under Pope John Paul II. [1]
