Pontifical Abbey of St Jerome-in-the-City
Coordinates: 41°53′37″N 12°25′46″E / 41.89364°N 12.429405°E The Pontifical Abbey of St Jerome-in-the-City (Latin: Abbatia pontificia sancti Hieronymi in urbe) was a Benedictine monastery in Rome founded for the purpose of creating a critical edition of the Vulgate.
In 1907, the Vatican announced that the Benedictines had been assigned the task of creating a corrected edition of the Vulgate. In addition to the critical edition of the Vulgate, a series called Collectanea Biblica Latina was created to publish subsidiary findings from research on the Latin Bible. A motu proprio of 1914, Consilium a Decessore, established a pontifical commission to oversee this work, which in 1926 was credited on the title page of the first published volume of the resulting edition, Biblia Sacra iuxta latinam vulgatam versionem ad codicum fidem. The project was originally based at the Pontifical Atheneum of St. Anselm, and later the Palazzo San Callisto. On 15 June 1933, an apostolic constitution, Inter praecipuas, established an abbey to complete the work; a further motu proprio was issued in 1934 to clarify its status. Its community was largely drawn from Clervaux Abbey; its first abbot was Henri Quentin.
