>This is the familiar "Clementine" Vulgate, the usual edition, and based (as
someone on the list has just pointed out) on 13th century Parisian MSS. So
it's probably the best one can do by way of approximating to the "medieval
Vulgate" - given the many and varied versions of that text in circulation.
