The Latin Vulgate is a late 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was commissioned by Pope Damasus I in 382 and completed by St. Jerome. It became the definitive and officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. The name "Vulgate" comes from the Latin "versio vulgata," meaning "the version commonly used." The Vulgate included the deuterocanonical books that were part of the Greek Septuagint but not the Hebrew canon, which St. Jerome called the "hidden" or "apocryphal" books.
