Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol. VI:
Prefaces.: Introduction.

Early Church Fathers  Index     

Prefaces to the Books of the Vulgate Version of the Old Testament.

This version was not undertaken with ecclesiastical sanction as was the case with the Gospels, but at the request of private friends, or from Jerome’s “own sense of the imperious necessity of the work.” It was wholly made at Bethlehem, and was begun about a.d. 391, and finished about a.d. 404. The approximate dates of the several books are given before each Preface in the following pages.


Next: Preface to Genesis.
