The translation was the first into [[Latin]] based on the [[Hebrew]] rather than Greek version of the [[Old Testament]]. The '''Vulgate''' remained the standard for the [[Catholic Church]] for more than a millennium, and is now fully available online.<ref>http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/www/Vulgate/</ref>

Completed before the fall of the [[Roman Empire]], the '''Vulgate''' had an immense influence on intellectual thought, language and culture for many centuries. It is recognized as one of the most influential works of all time.
