Vetus Latina is the pre-Vulgate Bible versions of the Latin Church Fathers. Because there are a limited number of extant manuscripts that haphazardly cover the biblical text, the basic sources are biblical citations or allusions that are found within the writings of the Latin Fathers or Greek patristic authors who were translated at an early date into Latin.

The Rare Book & Manuscript Library has acquired manuscript fragments, with neumes, of a German missal from the 2nd half of the 12th century, containing texts for Wednesday of Holy Week and Good Friday, the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, and the feast of Four Crowned Martyrs (8 November). Neumes represent a early system of musical notation, prior to the invention of the four-line, then five-line staff methods. In addition, the Easter Passion narratives contained in the fragments are marked for public performance, anticipating later medieval passion plays and the subsequent development of modern drama.
