Most points about the Vulgate already have been made by others, but I
still have not seen an answer to the last question Clint asked.
In an scholarly article, you should quote the Biblia sacra iuxta
latinam vulgatam versionem ... cura et studio monachorum abbatiae S.
Hieronymi in urbe O.S.B. edita, Rome 1929 - ....
Unfortunately, not all biblical books have appeared in this excellent
edition. Its apparatus contains a great number of MSS
(including the 13th c. Paris Bible, MS Omega, omitted from the Weber
edition), and is indispensible for
medievalists. If this edition is available for the Biblebook you
quote, nothing else will do.
