Rutger Sycamber from Vernay (1456-1514?) joined the Windesheim congregation at the age of 20. But instead of remaining at his chosen monastery (HAningen in central Germany) he elected to divide his time between a considerable number of monasteries in his own chapter over a period of more than 10 years. In 1494 he took to writing, completing close on 200 books in the further course of his life. In the 36 of them that have come down to us, he gives us a precise and frequently surprising account of life in the monasteries of the day. This edition of his autobiography includes a German translation.

Der Vulgata Verein Chur, organisierte im November 2013 den ersten Vulgata-Kongress. Dabei wurden philologische Erkenntnisse aus der UEbersetzung der Vulgata ins Deutsche und Rumanische zusammengetragen, theologische und andere Hintergrunde um die Vulgata und Hieronymus vertieft. Der Austausch ermoeglichte eine bessere Arbeit an den lateinischen Texten der Vulgata. Die vorliegenden Beitrage sind eine Zusammenschau der Vortrage und Workshops in Bukarest.
