Hebrew and the<i>Hebraicum</i>in late Anglo-Saxon England
Sarah Larratt Keefer|David R. Burrows
St Jerome's third Latin translation of the Sefer Tehillim or ‘Book Psalms’ is called iuxta Hebraeos Hebraicum , because he based it on original Hebrew in which was composed order to obtain greatest authenticity possible. Preceded by so-called Romanum version c. 384, primarily a Greek Septuagint, and Gallicanum 392 revision Origen's hexaplaric Septuagint text, 400 represents an attempt Jerome produce as close possible text. However, despite its greater accuracy with respect original, apparently never used liturgy, preserved solely patristic text bibles psalters for scholarly use.
