van Ess, 3 vols., Tfib. 1822; Kistermker, 3 vols., Munster 1823 ; an edition published by authority of Leo XII. at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 8vo, 1826 ; one in sm. folio, published at Besancon and Paris 1839 ; and that of Fleck, Lips. 184o. An attempt to produce correcter text has recently been made by Vercellone in an edition published by him at Rome in 1861. Of great value also are his Variez Lectiones Vulgata Lat. Bib. editionis, tom. i., ii., part (Pent-1 Regg.), Rom. 186° 62, 4to. The earlier work of Bukentop (Lux de luce, etc., Colon. Agripp. 171o, 4to), in which the doubtful and various readings of the Clementine edition are illustrated from the original texts, and the Sixtine edition is discussed, possesses also much utility. A critical edition of the Vulgate text yet remains a desideratum.
