Vulgate
The Church Father, Jerome, composed a Latin translation of the whole Bible in the fourth century AD.
Jerome translated the books of the Old Testament from Hebrew and the books of the New Testament from Greek. He also translated a number of books (from Greek) which later became known as “Deuterocanonical”.
The Vulgate became the most authoritative text of the Bible for the Western Church until the Reformation.
