Description: |
Jerome (c.345-420) was one of the greatest biblical scholars of antiquity. He produced the first Latin translation of the Bible which was made not from Greek but directly from the Hebrew. This translation came to be called the Vulgate, the standard Bible of Latin Christendom. In this book, the author considers the origins of this project through an analysis of the Quaestiones Hebraicae in Genesim, a commentary on the book of Genesis published at about thesame time as the translation. He looks at Greek scholarship at the time of Jerome, and discusses to what extent Jerome's work represented a new departure. |
Synopsis: |
Jerome (c. 345-420) was one of the greatest Bibilical scholars of antiquity. Among his achievements was his Latin translations of the Bible 'according to the Hebrew', or iuxta Hebraeos. This translation came to constitute the major part of the Vulgate, the standard Bible of Latin Christendom. The author here considers the origin of this project through an analysis of the Quaestiones Hebraicae in Genesim, a commentary on the book of Genesis published at approximately the same time as the first instalments of the translation. The primary focus of the book is the question of Jerome's dependence on Greek scholarship both before and during his own time. |
