Where can I find a copy of the Vulgate?

I received this email:

We are homeschoolers studying Latin. We enjoy your program very much! My daughter would like to have a Latin Vulgate bible. We would like minimal commentary in the bible. Can you recommend one?

Thank you!

Here is my reply:

Glad to hear you are enjoying Visual Latin!

As for the Vulgate… I always recommend you start with free:

Here you will find a dramatized audio version (My favorite.  I use this daily): https://live.bible.is/bible/LATNV1/MAT/1?audio_type=audio_drama

Here is another free online version: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/Biblia-Sacra-Vulgata-VULGATE/#booklist

And another: http://vulgate.org/

This one is fascinating, but difficult to use.  It is a side by side English/Latin/Greek/Hebrew version: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/poly/

If you want a physical copy, any of the versions on this page will do (they get expensive, though): https://amzn.to/3ekHNrO

This is the one I use: https://amzn.to/2NccgfR. Pretty expensive.  But, I do like it.

Hope this helps!

    You can find a free eBook format (.epub or .mobi) of the Vulgate at http://breviarium.srubarovi.cz/ .
    That site has the roman missal and the divine office in Latin as well.
