| Summary: | Ad fontes was the cry of the Renaissance, and it was heard in Alcalá at the beginning of the sixteenth century, encouraging the preparation of the Complutensian Polyglot. For the Church the supremacy of the Vulgate version of the Bible had been challenged by such a cry. The Complutensian Polyglot acknowledged and accepted the primacy of the Latin Vulgate and placed it in the central position on its printed pages of the Old Testament but its editors were alert to alternative traditions in Hebrew and Greek. As far as the LXX is concerned, how did the editors work? How many Greek MSS did they have at their disposal? What were the scholarly Hellenists’ working methods? Too few modern scholars have investigated these and comparable questions. De Lagarde and Delitzsch were pioneers. |
