a) The individual Mary did not go through the events described at the end of the chapter.
This is a symbolic figure.
b) The Vulgate is NOT the first Bible.
The Hebrew and Greek manuscripts are the first Bible.

Referring to your first reply to me I think you will find that the Babylonians in Mesopotania were established around 2500 BC.

Here are the verses where Jesus addresses His mother as "woman." As I said, no where in Scripture does a son
call his mother "woman." Hmmmm....
Mary is the "woman" in Genesis 3:15 and the "woman" in Revelation Chapter 12
+ + +
The first instance, where Our Lord does so at the wedding at Cana (John 2:4).
The other instance where he does so is when Mary sees him being crucified:
When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman [gunai], behold, your son!” [John 19:26].
p.s. Satan was given the knowledge of the plan of redemption. Oh, how hated a mere human person would
play a major part. Satan despises Mary. It is the Trinity's plan that Mary crush the head of the serpent.

Concerning Revelation which has always intrigued me especially as there appears to be a description of a white haired man with piercing eyes. I seem to remember that this description of a newly born son put Noah into a spin
as he was not white haired with piercing eyes.
the idea that part or all was written under the influence of hallucinogenic plants found on that island.

My first observation is the description of the white haired man, in the long robes with the piercing eyes.
Second description is how did John, sitting on Patmos have any comprehension of not being able to buy or sell without the 'mark'? There was no civilisation at that time that would have had either that kind of need to control commerce or the inclination not to use currency or barter.
