medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Is the real question Jerome's linguistic competence? What was he seeing
that he expected to see? Was the Greek text he was using good? What
use was he making of the Vetus latina? The translation of Isaiah 7:14,
what we know as "A virgin shall conceive..." is another case of the
early Christian translators seeing something in the text that many do
not see now.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
I am quite aware Jerome translated the Bible. But the ability to
translate
is not necessarily scholarship.
