14. vulgate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was largely the work of St. Jerome, who was commissioned byPope Damasus I in 382 to make a revision of the Vetus Latina (old Latin translations). Its widespread adoption eventually led to their eclipse. By the 13th century this revision had come to be called the versio vulgata, that is, the "commonly used translation".^[1] In the 16th century it became the definitive and officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible in the Roman Catholic Church.
