The Vulgate and Old Latin (i.e. pre-Vulgate) versions in parallel columns, in different type, with marginal and foot-notes. Three versions of the Psalms are given: Jerome's version from the Hebrew as well as the Vulgate and the Old Latin.

Continued after Sabbathier's death under the care of Vincent de La Rue.

Still the most extensive collection of Old Latin versions, which exist only in fragments, compiled from manuscripts and the writings of the Fathers. cf. British and Foreign Bible Society Hist. Cat. of Printed Bibles, pt. III. no. 6263; Hastngs, Dict. of the Bible, etc.
