A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

St. Jerome srevision (a.d. 383), exemplify, for the most part, the type of text that was current in Europe before the final triumph of St. Jerome srevision, viz. a mixed text, partly Old Latin and partly Vulgate. St. Jerome sN.T. came into general use much earlier than did his O.T. Even Muirchu, who wrote about the year 700, has a remarkable quotation from the O.L. of Exodus. The question, as it affects St. Patrick, is dealt with in detail in the present writers Libri S. Patricii, p. 230 ff. But something must be said here. For the purpose of arriving at a conclusion as to the relation of Patrick s Biblical text to that of Jerome, it is necessary to remember that the Latin Bible is not homogeneous. Of the Psalter, Jerome produced three editions :(1) that called the Roman Psalter (R), a.d. 383, a cursory revision of the Old Latin ;(2) a more careful revision, the Gallican Psalter (G), a.d. 387, which became current in Gaul at the end of the sixth century ;and (3) a new translation from the Hebrew (H). The rest of the canonical books of the O.T. were re-translated by Jerome from the Hebrew (a.d. 391-404); but the A pocrypha, with the exception of Tobit and Judith, he did not touch. The Gospels were carefully revised; but the evidence as to the rest of the N.T. is conflicting. However, it is generally agreed now that Jerome did revise the A cts, Epistles, and Revelation, but not very thoroughly. Hence we must examine separately Patrick scitations from (1) the Psalter; (2) the other canonical O.T. books; (3) the A pocrypha; (4) the Gospels ;and (5) the rest of the N.T. Moreover, we must keep in mind the fact that no two MSS. of the Vulgate N.T. present an exactly identical text. This lack of uniformity is even more marked in the case of MSS. of the O.L.
