This paper attempts to recognize the important role played by Isidore Clarius in the reform of the Vulgate in the Sixteenth Century. In his preface, prolegomena and notes to the Bible, Clarius provided a form of pre-Tridentine Biblical scholarship which enjoyed more affinities with evangelical Protestant scholarship than with much of the Italian Biblical heritage. Isidore Clarius was one of the mitred abbots delegated by Paul III to the Council of Trent. In spite of his presence at Trent and his reputation as a scholar, Clarius could not escape the censorship which struck his Bible after the Index of 1564.
