Dictionary of the Vulgate New Testament (Nouum Testamentum Latine ): A Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin This is a English Latin dictionary specifically written for those seeing to understand the Vulgate New Testament (Nouum Testamentum Latine). Many years in its compilation JM Harden's dictionary was compiled for those wishing to study the New Testament in Latin. This specialized dictionary is much easier to use, than one of the larger and more expensive Latin dictionaries which would otherwise be required for all the words in the Latin bible. Use JM Harden's Latin dictionary to study the Saint Jerome's Vulgate New Testament in any edition these include: The Oxford edition of Bishop J. Wordsworth and H.J.White 1911, Fleck's edition of 1840 Constantin von Tischendorf's edition of 1864. The Dictionary of the Vulgate New Testament, by J. M. Harden, provides concise glosses of all the words in the 1911 Oxford critical edition of the Vulgate New Testament, excepting those words where the meaning is plain from the English cognate (such as corruptio) and certain common words that are best covered in the grammars. In addition, introductory materials explain differences between the Oxford edition and the Clementine edition of the Vulgate, and orthographical differences between the editions are noted in the front matter and in the articles themselves. The Dictionary also serves as a mini-concordance, as the articles contain many citations to the text of the New Testament itself. In our opinion the Oxford edition of the Vulgate New Testament is the best edition as it is based on the oldest and best manuscripts of the Vulgate. In 1907 Pope Pius X commissioned the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Jerome in Rome to prepare a critical edition of Jerome's Vulgate as a basis for a revision of the Clementine Bible. Only the Old Testament was ever completed and not the New Testament because there was already a critical Latin New Testament this was the Oxford edition of Wordsworth and White. The JM Harden's dictionary is a companion dictionary for anyone wishing to study the New Testament in Latin. The Vulgate New Testament (Nouum Testamentum Latine) Oxford Edition by Bishop Wordsworth and White is available from Simon Wallenberg Press.
