380 A.D. The Latin Vulgate was translated by St. Jerome. He translated into Latin the Old Testament from the Hebrew and the New Testament from Greek. The Latin Vulgate became the Bible of the Western Church until the Protestant Reformation in the 1500's. It continues to be the authoritative translation of the Roman Catholic Church to this day

Pope Damasus I in 382 asked Saint Jerome to create this translation. It is a revision of the Old Latin version of the Gospels from the Greek. His version of the Pslams was based on Hexaplar Greek text and later, with many of his other Old Testament books, on the Hebrew texts.
