古ラテン語
Latin manuscripts are divided into "Old Latin" and Vulgate. Old Latin manuscripts, also called "Vetus Latina" or "Itala", are so called not because they are written in Old Latin (i.e. Latin prior to 75 BC), but because they are the oldest versions of the New Testament in Latin. From the linguistic point of view, Old Latin New Testament manuscripts may at times use non-standard grammar and vocabulary.
