Eusebius Hieronymus, also known as Jerome, was commissioned by Pope Damasus to begin translating the New Testament from Greek into Latin. After the death of Damasus, he began the translation of the Old Testament. Jerome spoke Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and understood Syraic, a language similar to Aramaic, so was an ideal choice for this project.
