Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, Vol. 12: October, 1911, to April, 1913 The first Meeting of the Session was held at 20, Hanover Square on Monday, October 16th, at 5 p.m., the President, Mr. Wheatley, in the Chair. Abbot Gasquet read a paper, illustrated with lantern slides, on The Progress of the Revision of the Vulgate. Of this he kindly supplied the following Summary. Summary. - The lecturer first called the attention of the meeting to the scope of the work entrusted to the Revising Commission, which he had explained fully in a previous lecture given to the Society two years before. The actual formal revision of the text could not be attempted until considerable preparatory work had been performed. As a basis for starting on a critical examination of the Latin text of the Bible, it was of the first importance to have the text of the Vulgate as St. Jerome had produced it. It is the determination of that text which is the end which the present Commission has in view. To understand the importance of this, it may be useful to bear in mind that in the last quarter of the 4th century St. Jerome was charged by Pope St. Damasus to give the Church an accurate Latin version of the Bible to take the place of the numerous translations then current. All our authorities at the present day are agreed as to the competence of St. Jerome for the task entrusted to him by Pope St. Damasus.
