Biblia Sacra
The Latin Vulgate Bible, Clementine Edition
Originally published in 1901 AD
Reprinted in 2024 AD by Church Latin Publishing Co.
Enhanced Version
I am very pleased to announce the impending arrival of the first printing of an enhanced edition of the popular illustrated Latin Vulgate Bible (Clementine Version) I've offered since 2021.
This new edition features the exact same content as the hardcover and softcover editions, but it is now printed and bound with a SEWN BINDING and some deluxe features laid out below. It is also much thinner and lighter than the hardcover version, which enhances it's portability and ease of use.
​
Below I have posted a few images of a proof copy that I have received from the printer.​
NOTE: The proof copy was printed on off-white paper. The finished copies will be printed on cream paper.
Also- The cover will have gold foil debossed images on the front and back cover as well as gold foil debossed text on the spine. Since a die has to be made for the foil debossing, the printer opts not to offer cover art on proof copies.
​
Contents:
-Complete text of the Latin Vulgate Bible, Old and New Testaments with "extra-canonical" books of the Old Testament- Prayer of Manasseh, 3rd and 4th Books of Esdras, and the 14th Book of Daniel known as the 'Bel and Dragon'

​
A note about the size of the print:
An occasional concern from customers has been about the size of the text.
Since this is a facsimile edition of the original, I do not have control over the font size.
The font size of the biblical text is approximately 7.5 pts
