Jerome's final translations of the Old Testament books direct from the
Hebrew were all adopted into the received Latin version, the Vulgate,
except this of the Psalms. Here his earlier revision of the old Italic
version on the basis of the Septuagint had become so firmly established
in liturgical use that the translation from the Hebrew, though more
exact, could not displace it. This appears to be the first printed
edition.
