Bonifatius Fischer (1915–1997) was a German biblical scholar, textual critic of the Vulgate, and Benedictine. Fischer questioned Jerome's authorship of some parts of the Vulgate New Testament. In 1951–1954 Fischer prepared the Old-Latin text of the Book of Genesis: Genesis 1:1 – 9:14 (1951) Genesis 9:14 – 27:23 (1952) Genesis 27:23 – 43:22 (1953) Genesis 43:22 – 50:26 (1954). Fischer examined all known Latin manuscripts of the Gospels written before the 10th century. Fischer participated in preparation of Vulgata Stuttgartiana.
