| Summary: | This is an important book. It addresses a number of frequently raised questions which have been awaiting an attempt at a coordinated answer. In Part I Dr Linde begins by looking at the basic vocabulary. What does vulgata mean in the Middle Ages, or septuaginta or Hebraica veritas or Graeca veritas? Part II examines the Vulgate and the lingering use of the Vetus Latina until the ninth century. Medieval respect for Jerome sharpened only with the fourteenth century. The medieval ‘editions’ of the Bible in which attempts were made to restore corrupted text are explored. In some cases, these efforts had puzzlingly little influence. The work of Isidore in this area has not survived and that of Cassiodorus seems to have faded from medieval notice. |
