- VLD
Vetus Latina Bible Versions of the latin fathers
- Latin biblical texts which were in
existence and use from the second century AD/CE until
the time when the Vulgate became predominant are known
under the common rubric of the Vetus Latina, or the
Old Latin, Bible. The term Vetus Latina refers to
all those biblical texts translated into Latin which
are not found in the Vulgate. The textual tradition
of the Vetus Latina is complex and incomplete. Because
there are a limited number of extant manuscripts that
haphazardly cover the biblical text the basic sources
are biblical citations or allusions that are found
within the writings of the Latin Fathers or Greek
patristic authors who were translated at an early
date into Latin. This database contains every citation,
listed by book, chapter and verse of the Bible.
