Biblia Vulgata

Biblia Vulgata is the Latin, academic[?] and technical name of the Bible known in English as Vulgate or The Vulgate. Its name means "the divulged Bible" or "the Bible given to the public", from Latin 'Biblia', Bible and 'vulgata', divulged, given to the public; paradoxically, the Catholic church discourages laic people of reading this version instead of the translated ones.
