Latin Bible
In the western regions of southern Gaul and North Africa, the first Latin translations of the Bible appeared. Tertullian apparently used a Latin version of the Scriptures around A.D. 160. Cyprian used one, too, before his death in A.D 258.
The Old Latin version fell into disuse after the completion of Vulgate. Pope Damasus I commissioned Jerome to translate the Vulgate from the Septuagint as Latin replaced Greek as the language of learning in the larger Roman world in the third century A.D.
