Texts
No Greek or Hebrew, because no-one on this blog can do more than “ego eimi ho poimen ho kalos” or … actually, I think we can only manage some Aramaic: Golgotha.
Vulgate
Clementine (the version approved by the Council of Trent, entirely trustworthy in faith and morals) – attractive version, good search function etc, also you can get the Glossa Ordinaria to go with it, if you can work out the technical stuff (which is straightforward)
Nova Vulgata the new Vulgate – to be used in the preparation of vernacular translations, even when these are done from the original languages (Liturgicam Authenticam: or read the handy press release)
New American Bible Has some introductions that can be useful, but no guarantees of non-misleadingness because I haven’t used it for three years.
Commentaries – on more than one book
on the whole Bible
Biblia Clerus on the whole Bible
Cornelius a Lapide (C17, English translation of some NT books only)
Catena Aurea English Fathers of the Church comment on the Gospels, collated by St Thomas Aquinas, edited under ven. J.H. Cardinal Newman
St Thomas Aquinas, commentaries on Scripture in Latin
Commentaries – on individual books
Psalms
St Bruno Latin (pdf)
St Thomas Aquinas on pss. 1-55, English
Apocalypse
St Bede English (almost complete text online)
Latin (pdf)

that diafrica site is marvellous! I discovered it some time ago looking for, um, something.
The other one I haven’t seen – thanks so much! I have the Romans commentary in Polish. I was thinking of reading it this Pauline year, from end to end. There’s a lot! Undergrad scripture studies have fallen low since the C13 …
