medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi Alan!
Your query to lthe list reminded me that I never did get back to you on this question! Sorry about that. I was actually on my way to look up Mary Dove's intro to her ed of the Glossa Ordinaria to see if she talks about this, when I was accosted by a student and got sidetracked. Mary Dove would probably be the best person to ask; she knows more about medieval versions of the Sof S than anyone I know. I'll see if I can find her e-mail.
In the meantime, other comments the list has already articulated are aplicable to your question: there wasn't "a" Vulgate, but many variants on any given book. The three "main" variants on the Psalms (Gallican, Hebrew, Septuagint) give us the false impression, perhaps, that the other books of the Bible just had one textual tradition per book. That's just not true. Even the "Paris university" bible of the 13C had variants, though it is (and was) touted as a specific (and implicitly unvariable) edition.
So in short I'm not sure how important it is to your argument; does it matter that one says "amore langueo" in stead of "vulnerate caritate" ? Are you trying to localize a manuscript by its variants, or what?

Does anyone have information about variations within the Vulgate version of the Song of Songs?
In both the University of Chicago online Vulgate and in the "Nova Vulgata Bibliorum Sacrorum" (1986), Songs 2:5 and 5:8 contain the phrase "amore langueo." However, many medieval writers quote a variation of this phrase: "vulnerata caritate ego sum." For example, in the Corpus Christianorum edition of Augustine's "Ennarationes in Psalmos," 37, 5, l. 56 "Quoniam vulnerata caritate ego sum" is placed in italics and has a footnote that reads "Cant. 2, 5 et 5.8." A search of the Patrologia Latina, indicates that "Vulneratus/-ta caritate ego sum" was used by writers ranging in time from Ambrose to Bernard of Clairvaux.
