The ODCC3 says in the article on the Roman Psalter, "Earlier scholarship
equated it with [the] revision of the Latin psalter which St. Jerome
says he compiled hastily ('cursim') on the basis of the Septuagint. Few
scholars now think that the Roman psalter was produced by Jerome, though
he may have used it as a basis for this first attempt to translate the
Psalms."
The citations in the bibliography are all over 50 years old; has the
consensus changed back to Hieronyman authorship?
