If you are using the Stuttgart version of the Vulgate, they are in fact the
"Gallican" and "Hebraica" versions. Jerome made three versions of the
psalter in all:
(1) the "Roman Psalter" which was a light revision of the Old Latin
version, corrected "cursim" from the Greek;
(2) the "Gallican Psalter", based on the Septuagint, which is the
version still in liturgical use in churches which still recite the Latin
psalter; and
(3) the "Hebraica", translated directly from the Hebrew. This version
never caught on for liturgical use, but remained, and remains, the province
of scholars.
