medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
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.
