Abstract

This book will be of interest to Latinists, to biblical scholars with a particular interest in textual criticism, and to Bible translators (theorists and practitioners). Philip Burton of the University of St. Andrews presents a study of the Old Latin Gospel texts that predate Jerome's revision known as the Vulgate. He brackets out of direct consideration "the biblical citations in the patristic writings" (4). The work is divided into three parts: (1) The Textual History of the Old Latin Gospels, (2) Aspects of the Translation, and (3) The Old Latin Gospels as Linguistic Documents with an appendix dealing with Jerome's "Translation Technique."
