 The early Christian scholar Origen remarked that the Hebrew 'book of Ezra' might then be considered a 'double' book.Jerome, writing in the early 5th century, noted that this duplication had since been adopted by Greek and Latin Christians.Jerome himself rejected the duplication in his Vulgate translation of the Bible into Latin from the Hebrew; and consequently all early Vulgate manuscripts present Ezra–Nehemiah as a single book, as too does the 8th century commentary of Bede, and in the 9th century bibles of Alcuin and Theodulf of Orleans.
