''Vita'' ( Latin for "life") can also refer to a brief Biography , often that of a Saint (i.e. a Hagiography ). One can expect a vita to unfold its story gradually according to a set pattern.
Often the term ''vita'' means a Curriculum Vitae . Through ignorance of Latin it is in recent decades incorrectly called a "vitae" or a "curriculum vita".
Vita is the Modern Greek name for the letter Beta .
