However, its status as a Latin Scriptural translation is far from unique; it is joined by a great number of extra-Vulgate works called Vetus Latina, Old Latin. The Vulgate collection’s rise to prominence is primarily owed to its tradition. This tradition states that the Dalmatian exegete and monk Jerome of Stridon completed the Vulgate initially by order of his patron Pope Damasus. This original commission included the four Gospels at first and was completed in the early 380’s. The complete Vulgate collection would at first be attributed to Jerome who himself had claimed such completion. Throughout Ecclesiastical History, the attribution of the majority of the Vulgate New Testament has diminished to a scholarly consensus that Jerome completed only the Vulgate Gospels. It is this final certitude that this dissertation explores. Through a close examination of verifiable Hieronymian witness of the Gospels, especially Matthew and Mark, an evaluation of Jerome as a witness to the Vulgate Gospels is presented. To evaluate Jerome as witness for the Vulgate may at first appear to be a counterintuitive approach; Jerome’s involvement with the formation of the Vulgate is has been traditionally considered inextricably linked to the story of the Vulgate. This dissertation provides reevaluation of the historical division between Vetus Latina and Vulgate. This overview of the two Latin traditions is presented in the introduction. The next chapter examines sources and events surrounding the Latinization of the church in the Fourth Century. In this context, this dissertation examines the pontificate of Damasus and his relation to the exegete Jerome. Next, Jerome’s literary creations from KCL 7 Dooley his Roman period in contact with Damasus are evaluated. This is followed by an evaluation of the citations in Epistle 22 and an original interlinear translation of Jerome’s preface to his Gospel translations. The following two chapters present analysis of the Commentary on Matthew and the Homilies on Mark, respectively. An exhaustive comparative table of Jerome’s text, the Vulgate, and Vetus Latina examples follows each chapter. Following this presentation of Jerome’s Matthew and Mark, a discussion of the possibilities of Vulgate Paul’s editor is presented. This leads to some suggestions that serve as a call to reconsider the traditional history and rebuild the understanding of the Vulgate based on deductive considerations of extra-Vulgate translations and Patristic citations. Chapter 1 Introduction : Vetus Latina and Vulgate Introduction This thesis traces the lineage back to its original source of what is conventionally called the ‘Latin Vulgate’, namely ‘the Latin Bible that has been in common use in the Western Church since the seventh century’.1 In doing so, it seeks to better understand the veiled history of its creation. It critically observes the traditional source, Jerome of Stridon, in an attempt to shed light on its otherwise obscured creation. This is accomplished through the careful observation of Hieronymian (that is, by Jerome) quotations culled from his numerous epistles, polemical and exegetical works, and translations and commentaries. 1 Robert Weber and Roger Gryson, Biblia Sacra Vulgata, editio quinta (1994), XXXIII. 8 Jerome’s Text of the Gospels The thesis can be classified into four major sections. The first section is found below in this introductory chapter. This introduction sets the history of the Vulgate in the perspective of those extra-Vulgate Latin translations, known as the Vetus Latina. It seeks to make sense of the confusing history of Latin Scriptural history and calls upon a number of prior scholarly monographs. It explores problems throughout history in understanding the true point of origination of the Vulgate and delineates its historical treatment. The second section introduces Pope Damasus, the Latinization of the Church, and Jerome’s works in Rome. As such, it seeks to capture some picture of the scholar’s early inclinations and understand from the onset if he uses any uniquely identifiable translations; to accomplish this, some of his Roman works are considered. The third part then analyzes Jerome’s Commentary on Matthew and Homilies on Mark in order to understand whether or not Jerome’s numerous citations bear witness to the Vulgate translation.

Frizzell: Mary and the Biblical Heritage MARY AND THE BffiUCAL HERITAGE Lawrence E. Frizzell* Throughout the ages, the Church and her teachers have often acknowledged that the fourfold Gospel offers only a limited number of passages that feature the Mother of Jesus. Undaunted, the great doctors of the early Church and the the­ ologians of the Middle Ages found abundant resources for their meditation concerning Mary in the Jewish Scriptures and literature related to the New Testament. The theological premise that God is the principal author of the entire Bible led them to find hints and images of the Messiah everywhere. Recognizing that the link of Jesus to the people of Israel is Mary, his Mother, they rejoiced to find that her coming and her attributes are virtually as ubiquitous as the foreshadow­ ings of Jesus. The lover fmds reminiscences of the beloved everywhere, and these teachers and their communities were intoxicated with love, thirsting to know Jesus and his Mother more deeply.

  • A Commentary on Jerome's Contra Vigilantium by Amy
    A COMMENTARY ON JEROME’S CONTRA VIGILANTIUM BY AMY HYE OH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Philology with a concentration in Medieval Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Danuta Shanzer Professor Ralph Mathisen Professor Jon Solomon Professor Stephan Heilan, University of Osnabrück ABSTRACT Innkeepers inspired this dissertation. After working on ‘innkeepers’ as a topic for a research seminar paper, I soon discovered that the term caupo counted as an insult according to several church fathers, including Jerome. In the Contra Vigilantium, Jerome mocked his enemy, Vigilantius, by calling him a caupo who mixed water with wine; I wondered whether the title was true and the insult was deserved. What remained was to figure out who this man was and why he mattered. The dissertation is comprised of four parts: introductory chapters, a text with an en face translation, a philological/historical commentary, and appendices. The first chapter introduces Vigilantius, discusses why a commentary of the Contra Vigilantium is needed, and provides a biography, supported by literary and historical evidence in response to the bolder and more fanciful account of W.S. Gilly.1 The second chapter treats Vigilantius as an exegete. From a sample of his exegesis preserved in Jerome’s Ep. 61, I determine that Jerome dismissed Vigilantius’ exegesis because he wanted to protect his own orthodoxy. The third chapter situates Vigilantius in the debate on relic worship. His position is valuable because he opposed most of his contemporaries, decrying relics instead of supporting their translation and veneration.

Ehrman , "These scribal additions are often found in late medieval manuscripts of the New Testament, but not in the manuscripts of the earlier centuries. A text-type referred to as the " Caesarean text-type " and thought to have included witnesses such as Codex Koridethi and minuscule , can today be described neither as "Caesarean" nor as a text-type as was previously thought. For this reason, the Bohairic translation can be helpful in the reconstruction of the early Greek text of the New Testament.

This dissertation examines his writings on virginity in the interest of illuminating the historical and social contexts of his teachings. Considering Ambrose’s treatises on virginity as literary productions with social, political, and theological functions in Milanese society, I look at the various ways in which the bishop of Milan formulated ascetic discourse in response to the needs and expectations of his audience. Furthermore, I attend to the various discontinuities in Ambrose’s ascetic writings in the hope of illuminating what kinds of ideological work these texts were intended to perform by the bishop within Milanese society and beyond.

  • The Perpetual Virginity of Mary to Begin With
    The Perpetual Virginity of Mary To Begin With . To fully understand the Church’s teaching on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, we must begin with the Old Testament types and prophecies regarding this Biblical reality. St. Augustine wrote: “The New Testament lies hidden in the Old Testament and the Old is revealed in the New.” It is important to remember that NOTHING in Scripture is by accident. ALL of the Old Testament pointed to Christ in the New Testament. Every Old Testament type and symbol has a New Testament fulfillment. NT fulfillments are ALWAYS more glorious and perfect than their OT types – without exception. Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant (Jesus) Whereas the symbols of God’s word were contained in the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament, Mary actually carried God himself - the Word - in her womb in the New Testament. And, whereas the Old Testament Ark had to be made of pure materials and blessed and undefiled, how much more pure and undefiled would the vessel that actually carried God have to be? The following comparison chart illustrates the Old Testament type, the Ark of the Covenant with the New Testament fulfillments of that type, Mary: Comparison: The Ark & Mary OT type: "Who am I that the Ark of my Lord should come to me?" (2 Sam. 6:9) NT Fulfillment: "Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1:43) OT type: When the Ark carrying the Word of God returned “David was leaping and dancing before the Lord” (2 Sam.

  • The Latin Vulgate As an “Auxiliary Tool” of Translation
    QL 97 (2016) 141-170 doi: 10.2143/QL.97.3.3197403 © 2016, all rights reserved THE LATIN VULGATE AS AN “AUXILIARY TOOL” OF TRANSLATION Historical Perspectives on Liturgiam Authenticam On March 28, 2001, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Disci- pline of the Sacraments under the leadership of Cardinal Jorge Medina Estévez released the Fifth Instruction for the implementation of Sacrosanc- tum concilium. Entitled Liturgiam authenticam, “On the Use of Vernacular Languages in the Publication of the Books of the Roman Liturgy,” it pre- scribes the use of the Latin Vulgate as an “auxiliary tool” in the textual production of Scriptural translations for the vernacular liturgical books (no. 24). With regard to the vernacular lectionary in particular, it adds that “[i]f the biblical translation from which the Lectionary is composed exhib- its readings that differ from those set forth in the Latin liturgical text, it should be borne in mind that the Nova Vulgata Editio is the point of refer- ence as regards the delineation of the canonical text. Thus, in the transla- tion of the deuterocanonical books and wherever else there may exist var- ying manuscript traditions, the liturgical translation must be prepared in accordance with the same manuscript tradition that the Nova Vulgata has followed” (no. 37).1 This post-conciliar policy of Biblical translation soon became a matter of controversy. In a letter to the US Conference of Catholic Bishops dated August 13, 2001, the Executive Board of the Catholic Biblical Association of America aired its criticism against the curial document: Our main concerns have to do with the presentation of the Nova Vulgata as the model for Scripture translations in various ways and the provisions that translations conform to it, even to the point of requiring conformity to the Nova Vulgata in the tradition of original language manuscripts used for translation.
