Italic Version

(Veteus Itala), the usual name of the old Latin version of the Scriptures, used prior to the days of Augustine and Jerome, and probably made in Northern Africa in the 2nd century. The Italic, however. is properly a revision of this old Latin version, which was in use in Northern Italy, or around Milan. Fragments of it have been preserved by Blanchini and Sabatier (Eadie, Eccles. Dict. s.v.). Portions containing the books of Leviticus and Numbers have been published by Lord Ashburnham (London, 1870) from an ancient Codex in his library. SEE LATIN VERSIONS.
