by Pope Damasus in 382 and made by St Jerome at around 5th Century AD.
The name “Vulgate” comes from the latin, versio vulgata, meaning “the
version commonly used.”
St. Jerome was born in Dalmatia and had a great affinity for languages. He
first settled in the Syrian desert and finally in Bethlehem
St Jerome noted the difference between the larger canon of the Greek
Septuagint and the shorter Hebrew canon, and called those books comprising
the difference the "hidden or secret books, or the "Apocrypha"
Apocrypha
Christianity, the word apocrypha (“to hide away”) was first applied to
writings which were to be read privately rather than in the public
context of church services.
To support the traditional use of the Greek Septuagint as the
source of the Christian Old Testament, St. Augustine and the
Council of Hippo in 393 AD preserved seven books of the
Apocrypha, known as the deuterocanonical books
It comes from Greek and is formed from the combination of apo
(away) and kryptein (hide or conceal).
