It was compiled, not penned.

Pope Damasus (Catholic) commissioned St Jerome (Eusebius Hieronymus) to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin.

So what did he use, a hammmer and a chisel?

The manuscripts were already in existence.

St. Jerome--Eusebius Hieronymus--translated those Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin.
