medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture I keep seeing the word "Vulgate" in this discussion. Has "Vulgate" become a word like "Septuagint," meaningless? (Sorry, RAK) When the term "Vulgate" is used does it mean "Latin"? It shouldn't. It should be reserved for Jerome's translation as distinguished from Old Latin Versions. When we are talking of the Psalms we seldom encounter Jerome's translation in quotations or versions. The last time I studied them in detail, the Old English Psalms were clearly based on an Old Latin version and not the "Vulgate" at all. If I learned anything from RAK it was to define my terms.
