Vulgate

[bemer]

Has anyone tried reading the Latin Vulgate New Testament? If you have any familiarity with the English bible, it's very easy to follow, and I've found it to be a good way of brushing up on my (pretty much forgotten) Latin.

Bob, I have never read the Vulgate to read it like I would English, but I do use it for my sermon prep. When I am doing my word studies I read my text in several different languages and Latin is definitely one of them. I doubt this answers your question, but I wanted you to know some of us continue to use the Vulgate.

The Latin Bible used by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestants is also worth checking out. You can find a link to the Tremellius translation at the Post-Reformation Digital Library.

I tried to get my feet wet in it when I was studying Latin. I remember reading John 1 in the Vulgate.
