Remember, Trent repudiated recourse to the original languages stating its preference for the Vulgate. For an amusing read, research the incompetency of Pope Sixtus V attempting to restore the primitive "authentic" edition of Jerome's Latin Vulgate. His "infallible" attempt to do so proved disastrous.
