The Vetuslatina and the Vulgate of the Book of Exodus 371 The Vetus Latina and the Vulgate of the Book of Exodus David L. Everson 1 The Origin and Nature of the Vetus Latina The Vetus Latina or the Old Latin (hereafter ol) refers to the Latin versions of the Bible that were translated from the Greek but do not correspond to Jerome’s Vulgate.1 The earliest evidence of the ol appears in the Passion of the Scillitan Martyrs where we read of Speratus, who possessed “the books of and letters of Paul, a just man” (Libri et epistulae Pauli, viri iusti).2 A short time later, Tertullian identifies Latin as the exclusive language of the church in North Africa. During the third century, Cyprian includes lengthy citations of a Latin Bible.3 Already in late-antiquity, the ol was known for its textual diversity. Jerome complains that there are as many forms (exemplaria) of the biblical text as there are copies.4 Similarly, Augustine writes, “Those who have translated the scriptures from the Hebrew language into Greek can be numbered, but the Latin translators are in no way numerable. For in the early days of the faith, when a Greek book fell into someone’s hand and he believed himself to have some ability in both languages, he dared to translate.”5 However, as Rudolf 1 The Greek origin of the ol may be proven by observing Greek neologisms, loan words, septuagintal syntax, and the preservation of Greek errors. 2 The Latin of this text appears in J.A. Robinson, ed., The Passion of S. Perpetua (ts 1.2; Cam- bridge: University Press, 1891; repr., Piscataway: Gorgias, 2004), 114. See also anf 9:280–282. 3 Benjamin Kedar-Kopfstein, “The Latin Translations,” in Mikra: Text, Translation, Reading and Interpretation of the Hebrew Bible in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity (ed. Martin Jan Mulder; crint 2.1; Assen: Van Gorcum, 1988), 299–338, 299. 4 Pref. to Four Gospels, “For if our faith should be applied to the Latin texts, they should tell us which ones; for there are nearly as many (forms) as there are copies” (Si enim latinis exemplaribus fides est adhibenda, respondeant quibus; tot sunt paene quot codices). All of the biblical prefaces have been taken from Biblia Sacra: Iuxta Vulgatam Versionem (ed. Robert Weber and Roger Gryson; 4th ed.; Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1994). 5 Doct. chr. 2.16; Qui enim scripturas ex Hebraea lingua in Graecam verterunt, numerari possunt, Latini autem interpretes nullo modo. Ut enim cuique primis fidei temporibus in manus venit codex Graecus, et aliquantulum facultatis sibi utriusque linguae habere videbatur, ausus est interpretari. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2014 | doi: 10.1163/9789004282667_016 the vetuslatina and the vulgate of the book of exodus 371 Dietzfelbinger has pointed out, such comments may have been a reaction to the numerous renderings of select prophetic passages (e.g. Isa 7:9 and 58:7).6 With regard to accessing the ol text, there are two major challenges. First, there are no extant manuscripts which contain the complete book of Exodus. Second, the Beuron edition of Exodus still remains unfinished. Regarding the first challenge, there are five principal manuscripts which, when combined, contain most of the book of Exodus. These are the Codex Lugdunensis (olL, 7th cent., 695 vv. from Exodus), the Vienna Palimpsest (olV, 5th cent., 60 vv.), the Würzburg Palimpsest (olW, 5th cent., 503 vv.), and the Munich Palimpsest (olM, 6th cent., 609 vv.).7 Additionally, C. Vercellone collected numerous ol readings from the Codex Ottobonianus (olO 7/8th cent.).8 When these manu- scripts are combined with Sabatier’s great 18th century work (olSb), it is possi- ble to find ol texts (though sometimes fragmentary) for all but approximately fifty verses of the book of Exodus. Regarding the second challenge, Rudolf Diet- zfelbinger has provided an extraordinary amount of introductory and back- ground information for the ol of Exodus in his dissertation, “Die Vetus Latina des Buches Exodus.” This thesis was intended to lay the groundwork for the completion of the Beuroner edition of Exodus. Dietzfelbinger suggests the following Latin text-types for the book of Exodus (the aforementioned mss are placed accordingly):9 K: An older African text (olM, 31:15-end) C: A revised African text E: A European text (olO, olW, and olM, 9:15–20:5) S: A Spanish text (olL and olV) I: An Italian text 6 Rudolf Dietzfelbinger, “Die Vetus Latina des Buches Exodus, Studien zur handschriftlichen Überlieferung mit Edition von Kapitel 1” (Ph.D. diss., The University of Heidelberg, 1998), 13. 7 The respective titles for these mss within the Beuroner edition are as follows, L = 100, V = 101, O = 102, W = 103, M = 104. For L, see U. Robert, Pentateuchi versio latina antiquissima e codice lugdunensi (Paris: Didot, 1881). For V, see Bonifatius Fischer, Beiträge zur Geschichte der lateinischen Bibeltexte (Freiburg: Herder, 1986), 308–314, 382–438. For W, see E. Ranke, Par palimpsestorum wirceburgensium.

  • Mary-Ing Isis and Mary Magdalene in "The Flowering of the Rod"
    FACS / Vol. 10 / 2007-2008 Mary-ing Isis and Mary Magdalene in “The Flowering of the Rod”: Revisioning and Healing Through Female-Centered Spirituality in H.D.’s Trilogy Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick The palimpsest, as H.D. uses it in “The Flowering of the Rod” (1944), remakes reality by reconfiguring it. The palimpsestic design of Trilogy, the three-part epic poem of which “The Flowering of the Rod” is a part, offers healing through a revisioning of the world in feminist terms, created and represented by superimposed feminist characters and enacted by poetic language. This feminist use of the palimpsest effects healing and empowers women because it breaks with the traumatizing (for women) traditions that are imbued with masculine form and content. As a result, H.D. reclaims female types and reinvents them to form a new poetic template that counters the exclusion of women from master narratives and advocates healing from trauma. In short, H.D.’s palimpsestic design in Trilogy encourages the validation of a feminist worldview and ideology, thereby battling silence and fostering empowerment of women. In H.D. scholarship, “The Flowering of the Rod” 1 is interpreted as a poem about healing and female-centered spirituality. 2 However, throughout H.D. scholarship on Trilogy , healing as a particular response to the trauma of a marginalized woman in patriarchal narrative, has garnered noticeably less scholarship. 3 What has received even less attention are the ways in which H.D. enacts her template for healing through female- centered spirituality. Female-centered spirituality is the balm for traumatic wounds of various kinds 4 in H.D.’s FOTR because women are written into a spiritual narrative; thus, inclusion and identification become possible.

  • JOSHUA: the LORD IS SALVATION Joshua’S Call Joshua 1:1-18 Layne Lebo June 12, 2016
    JOSHUA: THE LORD IS SALVATION Joshua’s Call Joshua 1:1-18 Layne Lebo June 12, 2016 Today, we’re beginning our summer sermon series that will carry us through the end of August. Summer tends to be a very disjointed time at McBIC. People’s travel and vacation schedules, along with our church scaling back on some of our normal activities make it a challenge to stay connected during summer. Personally, I’m in the midst of a 5-week stretch where between vacation and some business trips I I’ll be spending time in North Carolina, Nashville, Kansas and Orlando. Realizing how disjointed things can get in June, July and August, we typically preach a summer-long series on a book of the Bible. That way, in the midst of people coming and going and a variety of people preaching, we have the constant of staying in one book of the Bible. To help you stay connected we’ve put together a simple bookmark that lists scriptures you can read whether you’re at home or on vacation that keep you in step with the passages we’re preaching on this summer. This summer we’ll be walking through the Old Testament Book of Joshua. Joshua is the 6th book in the Bible—coming immediately after the books known as the Pentateuch or the Law. Bible scholars aren’t sure who the author of Joshua is. It appears that parts of the book were written by Joshua himself, but other portions were likely passed along through generations of Jewish people as oral history.

  • The Text of the Sinai Palimpsest
    THE TEXT OF THE SINAI PALIMPSEST. As several communications about the text of the Syriac Gospels of Mount Sinai have already appeared in this magazine, I think it is fitting that I should make through it what is perhaps the most important of them all. Professor Burkitt published in 1904 an edition of the Cureton manuscript, entitled The Evangelion <la Mephar­ reske, and attached to it a collation of the Sinai text, which included nearly the whole of the Gospel of St. Mark. While the number of small mistakes inevitable in the case of a palimpsest and occurring in the work of the original tran­ scribers, of whom he himself was one, were corrected with the help of my photqgraphs, and of the supplementary transcription which I made in 1895, in its unedited state, I still did not feel satisfied for several reasons. I. I knew that some of these corrections were arbitrary, as they reversed the judgment of the original transcribers, without any proper basis for doing so ; the motive being apparently in some instances to assimilate a Sinai reading to one of Cureton. The more this process prevails, the more will scholars be inclined to assign a later date to the earlier, i.e. the Sinai text. II. Many of the passages were called illegible which belong to that half of the MS. which Dr. Burkitt has never seen. I mean to the portions transcribed by Dr. Rendel Harris or by myself, or even to pages which Dr. Bensly and he had not time to finish. Here the proper adjective would have been " unread." Ill.

Book Title The word psalms comes from the Greek word psalmoi. It suggests the idea of a “praise song,” as does the Hebrew word tehillim. It is related to a Hebrew concept which means “the plucking of strings.” It means a song to be sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The Psalms is a collection of worship songs sung to God by the people of Israel with musical accompaniment. The collection of these 150 psalms into one book served as the first hymnbook for God’s people, written and compiled to assist them in their worship of God. At first, because of the wide variety of these songs, this praise book was unnamed, but eventually the ancient Hebrews called it “The Book of Praises,” or simply “Praises.” This title reflects its main purpose──to assist believers in the proper worship of God.

  • Chapter Iii Malachi's Eschatological Figures
    CHAPTER III MALACHI’S ESCHATOLOGICAL FIGURES: AN EXAMINATION OF MAL.3:1-5; 4:5-6 Ralph L. Smith argues that the Book of Malachi deals with four primary theological themes: covenant, cult (worship), ethical conduct (justice and morality) and the future.1 It is certain that the Book of Malachi contains a number of theological ideas such as God‟s covenantal love, His covenant, the ideal priesthood, the universalistic perspective,2 and the eschatological promises. The word “covenant” occurs six times in the book. O‟Brien argues, “Malachi employs much of the terminology, theme and form of the covenant lawsuit.” 3 In other words, the Book is a kind of the covenant lawsuit. Malachi, as the prophet and representative of the Lord, confronts the priests of Israel for their defilement, reminding them of a faithful priest--a messenger of the Lord--who rebukes the people of Israel for their unbelieving hypocritical worship and unethical conduct, requests them to restore true worship, and proclaims a message of hope by predicting the forerunner of the Lord who prepares the way before the Lord comes. Malachi is commissioned by God to participate in a divine dialogue between Him and His rebellious people who comprise the remnant of Israel. The time of Malachi is the era of covenant breach. The priests violate the covenant of Levi (2:1-9), and the people break the 1 Ralph L.
