{{cquote|Augustine would have had a stack of manuscripts that contained separate books of the Bible. He may not always have had access to every book of the Bible simultaneously, nor even to every section within every book.

Only very gradually did Augustine start to make greater use of [[Jerome]]'s translations from the [[Hebrew]] found in the [[Vulgate]]. The 'Old Latin' translations were of varying quality, depending on the Books of the Bible concerned, and presented many erroneous readings which the user was not always able to detect. In fact, Augustine in his ''Retractions'' admitted that several times he had made incorrect interpretations on the basis of reading imperfect or even false translations (Retr. 2,12,39).<ref>http://www.augnet.org/en/life-of-augustine/augustine-in-general/1302-augustines-bible/#:~:text=Augustine%20knew%20only%20a%20little,Latin%E2%80%9D%20version%20of%20Biblical%20texts.</ref>}}
