The Latin Bible stands at the heart of Western culture. For almost
fifteen hundred years, it was the principal source for scholars,
philosophers, and theologians to reflect on the ideas and
narratives which shaped society in Europe and beyond. It continues
to feature in Christian liturgy, music, and art, and has influenced
both Latin and vernacular language and literature. Manuscripts of
the Latin Bible showcase the artistic and technical achievements of
Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and it was the first book 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 contains thirty-one chapters covering
the history of the Latin Bible from its earliest translations (the
Vetus Latina), the revisions by Jerome and others leading to the
Vulgate, the achievements and innovations of the Carolingian period
and Middle Ages, the development of modern scholarship, and the
twentieth-century innovation of the Nova Vulgata. It includes
discussions of key figures and interpreters, the most important
manuscripts, and the significance of the Latin Bible in multiple
fields. The international team of contributors includes many of the
world's leading authorities, along with representatives of a new
generation of researchers developing new approaches and insights
into this rich and diverse material. Each chapter introduces the
current state of scholarship, with extensive references to key
literature and electronic resources. This volume provides a unique
overview of one of the world's most important books.
