medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In Book VI cap. xvii of _De proprietatibus rerum_, Bartholomaeus Anglicus
(=BA) evidently has this quotation:
Psal.: sicut oculi ancille in manibus, id est ad manus, domine
sue, ita, etc.
Curiously, Ps. 122.2 iuxta LXX opens
ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum
sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae eius
ita...
while Ps. 122.2 iuxta Hebr. opens thus:
ecce sicut oculi servorum ad manum dominorum suorum
sicut oculi ancillae ad manum dominae suae
sic...
Not being up on my early-13th-century Biblical studies, I'm wondering if
BA--who wrote c. 1230-1245?--would have known both or would have had a
Vulgate before him which has both (as my Fischer et al. has, though this
is en regarde)?
If so, I would expect "vel" where BA has "id est," a simple confusion of
.i. for .l.
Advice, learned ones? As always, my thanks in advance.
