From Clementine Vulgate Genesis 2:2.
I assume its from patro and it looks to me like a Pluperfect 3rd Person Singular patraverat with the ve cut out.
Just wondering what this might be called and if it is common in the Vulgate. Thank you.

As far as I know, it is quite common in all Latin texts.
See §181, https://dcc.dickinson.edu/grammar/latin/peculiarities.

Re: Patrarat
I just did a quick search of the Vulgate for syncopated pluperfects and got 32 hits. Some are false-positives (e.g. parat, exhilarat, Ararat), but many look to be true pluperfects. PM me if you'd like me to send you the search results.CMatthiasT88 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 2:56 am From Clementine Vulgate Genesis 2:2.

Re: Patrarat
A&G 181, thank you. Would you call this syncopation or contraction?
I think its interesting that in the very next sentence there is cessaverat a true pluperfect.

Posting this here in case it's of interest to others.
This list should include all syncopated and non-syncopated forms in all persons, irrespective of verb class, in the Vulgate:
