<P> In 1550, Stephanus fled to Geneva where in 1555 he issued his final critical edition of the Vulgate, which was the first complete Bible with full chapter and verse divisions, and which became the standard biblical reference text for late 16th century Reformed theology . </P> <P> The Clementine Vulgate (Biblia Sacra Vulgatæ Editionis Sixti Quinti Pontificis Maximi iussu recognita atque edita) is the edition most familiar to Catholics who have lived prior to the liturgical reforms following Vatican II . </P> <P> After the Reformation, when the Catholic Church strove to counter the attacks and refute the doctrines of Protestantism, the Vulgate was reaffirmed in the Council of Trent as the sole, authorized Latin text of the Bible . Furthermore, the council expressed the wish that this should be' printed in the most correct manner possible'; although this fell short of a full commission to create a standard text of the Vulgate out of the countless editions produced during the Renaissance . Nevertheless, pressure built up for the preparations of an authorized Vulgate text . </P> <P> A committee was formed by Pope Pius IV in 1561 to undertake the task, but it worked slowly and ineffectively . A second committee was appointed by Pope Pius V in 1569 . Pope Sixtus V appointed a third committee, who took as their base text the Louvain Vulgate edition of 1583 (based on the edition of Hentenius), recording variant readings from authoritative manuscripts in the margin . A recommended text was presented in 1589 . Sixtus was dissatisfied with the result, judging that it was too far from the familiar printed editions . He had substantial changes made to the text, using the Vulgate edition of Robertus Stephanus corrected to agree with the Greek; and introducing personal changes, including an entirely new system of verse divisions . This revised version was hurried into print; and suffered from misprints in the Old Testament . In addition, three whole verses were found to have been dropped from the Book of Numbers; Numbers 30: 11 - 13, though it is unclear whether this was an error in printing or a' wild' editorial choice . The Bible appeared in 1590 and is known as Sistine Vulgate . Sixtus immediately issued corrigenda as pasted slips to be inserted into copies . After the Pope's sudden death, Robert Bellarmine warned that the work was an embarrassment, and a great danger to the church . The College of Cardinals stopped all further sales, and bought and destroyed as many copies as possible . </P>
