The Vulgate is the great Latin biblical tradition of Western Christianity. Its name derives from the Latin expression editio vulgata, meaning the common, widely disseminated or generally used edition.

It is especially associated with the work of Saint Jerome, who revised and translated numerous biblical books between the end of the fourth and the beginning of the fifth century. The collection known as the Vulgate did not, however, originate at a single moment, and not every part was translated directly by Jerome. Some sections preserved or reworked earlier Latin translations collectively known as the Vetus Latina.

During the Middle Ages, the Vulgate became the principal Latin biblical text of Western Europe. Its transmission passed through manuscripts, revisions and different printed editions, leading to the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate and, in the modern period, the Nova Vulgata.

The following catalogue adopts the official order and Latin book titles of the Nova Vulgata. Its 46 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books form the 73-book Catholic canon.
