medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Thanks for sharing this, Terrance.
I don't have an edition of the Itala version of the Latin Bible to
hand, but I have to wonder whether (as intimated by David Ganz in his
response to the Times's letter by Paul Gazzoli) we might find in the
Itala something approaching the 'wrong' Latin found in the inscription.
Very often, when I've been editing texts, I have found citations to
the Bible that appear 'wrong' are in fact quite correct, given that
the Itala continued to be used long after the Vulgate's composition.
