Best Answer

The Latin Bible was called the "Biblia Vulgata" or "The Books in the vulgar tongue", commonly known as the Latin Vulgate. The Latin word for bible is "biblia" which literary translated means "the books" though obviously, it meant the books, as in the Holy Scriptures. Translating the sacred scriptures into the common language, or "vulgus", (vulgar, not in the full modern sense of crass and unrefined, but meaning the common tongue) from the revered Greek and Hebrew is the reason why the Latin bible is called the "Vulgata" or Vulgate.
