What it is about
The Latin Vulgate, in its Clementine edition (1592), based on Jerome's translation: the official biblical text of the Latin Church for four centuries.
Context and history
Jerome made it between 382 and 405, going back to the Hebrew for the Old Testament at a time when the custom was to translate from the Greek. Twelve hundred years of hand copying left divergent versions behind, and the Council of Trent called for a fixed one: the Sixtine edition of 1590 appeared with so many errors that it was withdrawn, and the Clementine of 1592 is the one that lasted. It is the original the Douay-Rheims translates from, and the text quoted by Aquinas, Anselm and the whole of scholasticism.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
Gen 9:15 et recordabor fœderis mei vobiscum, et cum omni anima vivente quæ carnem vegetat: et non erunt ultra aquæ diluvii ad delendum universam carnem. Gen 9:16 Eritque arcus in nubibus, et videbo illum, et recordabor fœderis sempiterni quod pactum est inter Deum et omnem animam viventem universæ carnis quæ est super terram. Gen 9:17 Dixitque Deus ad Noë: Hoc erit signum fœderis, quod constitui inter me et omnem carnem super terram. Gen 9:18 Erant ergo filii Noë, qui egressi sunt de arca, Sem, Cham et Japheth: porro Cham ipse est pater Chanaan. Gen 9:19 Tres isti filii sunt Noë: et ab his disseminatum est omne genus hominum super universam terram. Gen 9:20 Cœpitque Noë vir agricola exercere terram, et plantavit vineam. Gen 9:21 Bibensque vinum inebriatus est, et nudatus in tabernaculo suo. Gen 9:22 Quod cum vidisset Cham, pater Chanaan, verenda scilicet patris sui esse nudata, nuntiavit duobus fratribus suis foras. Gen 9:23 At vero Sem et Japheth pallium imposuerunt humeris suis, et incedentes retrorsum, operuerunt verenda patris sui: faciesque eorum aversæ erant, et patris virilia non viderunt. Gen 9:24 Evigilans autem Noë ex vino, cum didicisset quæ fecerat ei filius suus minor, Gen 9:25 ait: Maledictus Chanaan, servus servorum erit fratribus suis. Gen 9:26 Dixitque: Benedictus Dominus Deus Sem, sit Chanaan servus ejus. Gen 9:27 Dilatet Deus Japheth, et habitet in tabernaculis Sem, sitque Chanaan servus ejus. Gen 9:28 Vixit autem Noë post diluvium trecentis quinquaginta annis. Gen 9:29 Et impleti sunt omnes dies ejus nongentorum quinquaginta annorum: et mortuus est. Gen 10:1 Hæ sunt generationes filiorum Noë, Sem, Cham et Japheth: natique sunt eis filii post diluvium. Gen 10:2 Filii Japheth: Gomer, et Magog, et Madai, et Javan, et Thubal, et Mosoch, et Thiras. Gen 10:3 Porro filii Gomer: Ascenez et Riphath et Thogorma. Gen 10:4 Filii autem Javan: Elisa et Tharsis, Cetthim et Dodanim.…
