Here is the WHOLE canon number 14 of the COUNCIL OF TOULOUSE (a local council, it appears, not ecumenical).

“14. Forbids the laity to have in their possession any copy of the books of the Old and New Testament (except the Psalter, and such portions of them as are contained in the Breviary, or the Hours of the blessed Virgin), most strictly forbids these works in the vulgar tongue.”

Landon, E. H. (1909). Vol. 2: A Manual of Councils of the Holy Catholic Church (172). Edinburgh: John Grant.

“So as you see it was not the possession of the whole bible but of SINGLE BOOKS of the bible that was prohibited, the psalter (i.e the psalms) was allowed. The creation of any of these books in the vulgar tongue was prohibited to prevent poor and heretical translations.”

And there’s this [doesn’t anyone do Web searches anymore?].

“A council was held in Toulouse, France in 1229 to deal with the Catharist heresy, which held, among other things that there are two gods. In order to promote their heresy, the heretics published a deliberately inaccurate translation of the Bible. To protect the Catholic Christians, the council bishops forbade the reading of that one bad translation. They never prohibited anyone from reading the Bible in its original language or an accurate translation.”
