The ''Vulgata Sixtina'' was a Latin edition of the Bible from 1590, prepared on the orders of Pope Sixtus V. It was the first edition of the Latin Vulgate authorised by a pope, but its official recognition was short-lived. == Three committees == On 8 April 1546 the Council of Trent required that the Vulgate be printed ''quam emendatissime'' (''fewest possible faults''). There was no authoritative edition at that time.〔Bruce M. Metzger, ''The Early Versions of the New Testament'', Clarendon Press, Oxford 1977, p. 348.〕 The first committee was appointed by Pope Pius IV in 1561 to undertake the work, but the committee worked slowly and ineffectively. The second committee was appointed by Pope Pius V in 1569 (''Congregatio pro emendatione Bibliorum''), with four Cardinals Marcus Antonius, Sirleto, Madrutius, and Antonio Carafa.〔Carlo Vercellone, (''Variae lectiones Vulgatae Latinae Bibliorum editionis'' ), Romae 1860, p. XXII.〕 The committee was resolved under the Pope Gregory XIII.〔Eberhard Nestle & William Edie, ''Introduction to the Textual Criticism of the New Testament'' (New York 1901), p. 127.〕 The Pope Sixtus V had appointed the 3rd committee of scholars to continue the work. The committee was under the presidency of Cardinal Carafa. The work was prepared on the basis of the edition of Robertus Stephanus from Louvain (1583) and good manuscripts were used as authorities, including notably Codex Amiatinus. Carafa presented the result of their work, in the beginning of 1589, but Sixtus rejected their work and in 18 months prepared another text he corrected to agree with the Greek and Hebrew,〔Pierre Gandil, (''La Bible latine : de la Vetus latina à la Néo-Vulgate'' )〕 He used ''Codex Carafianus'',〔Carlo Vercellone, (''Variae lectiones Vulgatae Latinae Bibliorum editionis'' ), Romae 1860, p. XXX.〕 but it was hurried into print and suffered from many printing errors,〔Petr Pokorný, Ulrich Heckel, (''Einleitung in das Neue Testament: seine Literatur und Theologie im Überblick'' ), Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2007, p. 101.〕 as well as serious problems reflecting the inability of the headstrong Sixtus as a Bible scholar. After his death Robert Bellarmine warned that his work was an embarrassment, and a great danger to the church. In May 1590 the completed work was issued from the press in three volumes.〔 The full title of edition was: ''Biblica Sacra Vulgatae editionnis, ad Concilii Tridenti praescriptum emendata et a Sixto V P. M. recognita et approbata''.〔Eugeniusz Dąbrowski, ''Prolegomena do Nowego Testamentu'', wyd. 3, Księgarnia św. Wojciecha, Poznań 1959, s. 126.〕 The edition was preceded by the Bull ''Aeternus Ille'' (1 March 1590), in which the Pope declared the authenticity of the new Bible, the Vulgata Sixtina.〔(VULGATE – International Standard Bible Encyclopedia )〕〔(Shimrath -- Zuzim "A Dictionary of the Bible ):" Volume IV: Part II, p. 881〕 This edition was short-lived, because of its textual inaccuracy.〔〔(Jaroslav Pelikan, "The Reformation of the Bible/The Bible of the Reformation )," p. 14〕 On 27 August Sixtus V died suddenly, and on 5 September the college of Cardinals stopped all further sales, bought and destroyed as many copies as possible.〔 Faced with about six thousand on matters of detail, and a hundred that were important, and saving the honour of Sixtus V, Bellarmine undertook the preface, and ascribed all the imperfections of his Vulgate to being errors of the press. Some believe that the attack against the edition had been instigated by the Jesuits, whom Sixtus had offended by putting one of Bellarmine's books on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum.〔Bruce M. Metzger, ''The Early Versions of the New Testament'', Clarendon Press, Oxford 1977, pp. 348-349〕 Vulgata Sixtina is cited only in some present critical editions and it is designated by siglum vgs.〔*> ()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vulgata Sixtina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
