Books Of The Latin Vulgate





NOTES


The names and numbers of the books of the Latin Vulgate differ in ways that may be confusing to many modern Bible readers. In addition, some of the books of the Vulgate have content that has been removed to separate books entirely in many modern Bible translations. This list is an aid to tracking down the content of a Vulgate reference.

The Psalms of the Vulgate follow the numbering assigned to them in the Septuagint which differs from the numbering found in the King James Bible , though not in the order nor the content. See Psalms for more details.

Note that the Apocrypha and Old Testament divisions of the Vulgate do not exactly correspond to those sections in the King James Bible. The Vulgate's Apocrypha section is smaller than the King James Bible's, with a correspondingly larger Old Testament. See the article on the Biblical Canon for details as to why this is so.

A complement to this list can be found at Books Of The King James Bible .


OTHER EDITIONS

The list below is for the Clementine Vulgate . Other editions of the Vulgate vary in the Apocrypha, in the order of the books, and in the names of the books.



  • The Stuttgart Vulgate adds Psalm 151 and Paul's Epistle To The Laodiceans to the Apocrypha. It thus has 5 books in the apocrypha, 46 in the Old Testament, and 27 in the New, for a total of 78 books. The spelling of proper names in this edition is irregular and inconsistent, so the names of many of the books were altered, e.g. ''Naum'' for '' Nahum ''.
