Texts

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)

    that diafrica site is marvellous! I discovered it some time ago looking for, um, something.
