This is the standard one that people use.

The Vulgate that a priest or theologian would have read in 1962 is called the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate, which is the standard edition of the Vulgate that was produced to carry out a decree of the Council of Trent. The standard scholarly edition of the Vulgate today is the Weber-Gryson edition, sometimes called the Stuttgart Vulgate. They are edited on somewhat different principles.

St Jerome, to whom we attribute the Vulgate just because there is more of his work in it than anyone else's, sometimes quotes a biblical verse in his writings, giving a rendering that is different from what has come down to us in the Vulgate. Sometimes this rendering is better than what is in the Vulgate. The editors of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate chose to incorporate these into the text. But Weber and Gryson were aiming to establish the text of the Vulgate itself as it has come down to us in the manuscript tradition—not necessarily the text that came from Jerome's hand, let alone an ideal translation that Jerome would have produced if he had gone over the Bible again and incorporated all his second thoughts. So the Stuttgart Vulgate prints these manuscript readings that seem worse, and reports in the notes at the bottom of the page what the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate says instead.

After the Second Vatican Council, a revised edition of the Vulgate was produced for official use. This is called the Nova Vulgata, the "New Vulgate" or sometimes "Neo-Vulgate." This edition is somewhat more satisfactory from a modern text-critical standpoint, and it will generally be easier to read for someone who has learned Latin from a textbook. It is available from Libreria Editrice Vaticana for sixty euros. The ISBN is 978-88-209-2163-8. They will write back to you about the shipping cost and where to wire the payment.

Also, I assume most people would prefer a one-volume Bible, but Harvard University Press has published a six-volume edition of the Vulgate with the Douay-Rheims-Challoner translation on the facing page in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library, listed at $35.00 per volume. The editors of this edition aim to reconstruct the Latin text of the Bible that the Douay-Rheims translators had in front of them.

I second everything everyone else is saying. Another thing I would add is, especially since you're a Catholic, to get a copy of the Latin Vulgate. There are a lot of paper copies and your priests can easily tell you where to get one. Just so you know, this version on Amazon (which is basically the only listing for 'Vulgate' on the site) is a copy of the Stuttgart version, which is an academic rather than devotional version and will read different than what they read in Mass.

I recommend you get a good copy because you'll be killing multiple birds with one stone. Use these other tools like Lingua Latina to start to get the basic grammar and vocabulary. Then you can use the Vulgate to see how the grammar is used in a sentence. I'm doing the same thing right now and it's helping a lot. Beyond that, you'll get used to the language of the Vulgate, which will then help you when you're in Mass.

Here is a Latin Bible. Quite pricey, but whatever. I found it by searching for "Vulgate." So maybe try looking for specific translations?

Edit: Here is a German Catholic Bible.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/Christianity

That depends on what, exactly, you would like to read the Bible for. If you are looking for an academic study of Scripture, then I highly recommend getting an RSVCE, or a Douay-Rheims Bible, along with a Reverse Interlinear and a copy of the Vulgate. This way, you can compare different, albeit faulty, english translations to the original language that the Scriptures are recorded in (Greek). You will also benefit from the reading of the Deuterocanon (popularly, and misguidedly, referred to as the "Apocrypha"). You could also use Biblia Clerus to see what the Church Fathers have to say on particular segments of Scripture.

If you simply want to read Scripture as a piece of literature, then perhaps you will find other options available to you online. Popular among Catholics is the Jeff Cavins' "Great Adventure" Series in which he leads you through a very systematic analysis of Scripture.

You can get one for $55 on Amazon. Or, for much less, you could get the one linked above printed and spiral bound (maybe in three volumes?) at your local Kinko's, etc.

Thanks. Someone else recommended it too so I'll definitely look into it. Anything for the Vulgate?

I am getting results like this: https://www.amazon.com/Biblia-Sacra-Vulgata-Vulgate-Bible/dp/1598561782

No commentary, but that's okay. The big thing is that there are no macrons. There might not even be a vulgate in print with macrons, as far as I can tell.

https://www.amazon.com/Biblia-Sacra-Vulgata-Vulgate-Bible/dp/1598561782/ and lots of other new and used book sellers both online and brick-and-mortar. This sort of reference book is often available second-hand for a significantly lower price. And for ease of reference there are a few Latin-English editions featuring the Clementine Vulgate text out there as well.
