It is based on the Clementine Vulgate of 1592, with adjustments. Originally two different renditions of the Psalms were provided, to reflect the recent introduction of the Pian Psalter.
Later editions
Templegate Publishers produced a facsimile of the New Testament in 1997.
The Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, commented on the new Baronius Press edition,saying: "Ronald Knox's translation of the Bible remains an exceptional achievement both of scholarship and of literary dedication. Again and again it successfully avoids conventional options and gives the scriptural text a fresh flavour, often with a brilliantly idiosyncratic turn of phrase. It most certainly deserves republication, study and use".
