The Latin Bible, a cornerstone of Western culture, has been a vital source of reflection for scholars, philosophers, and theologians for over fifteen hundred years. Its profound influence extends to Christian liturgy, music, and art, shaping both Latin and vernacular language and literature. Manuscripts of the Latin Bible, showcasing the artistic and technical achievements of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, were the first to be produced with Gutenberg's printing press. Biblical interpretation played a central role in education, from sermons in antiquity to medieval schools and the development of the university.
The Oxford Handbook of the Latin Bible, a comprehensive resource, offers a detailed account of the Latin Bible's history, from its earliest translations to the revisions by Jerome and others leading to the Vulgate. It explores the achievements and innovations of the Carolingian period and Middle Ages, as well as the development of modern scholarship. The handbook also delves into the twentieth-century innovation of the Nova Vulgata.
Featuring an international team of contributors, including renowned authorities and emerging researchers, each chapter provides a current state of scholarship, referencing key literature and electronic resources. This volume offers a unique overview of one of the world's most important books, shedding light on its enduring significance and impact.
