Eusebius Hieronymus, called Jerome (c 342 -420) was commissioned by Pope Damasus to begin translating the New Testament from Greek into Latin. He continued the task after Damasus' death and began the translation of the Old Testament from both Greek and Hebrew, completing this by the year 404. This was the Vulgate or "common" Latin Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.
