| Publisher Description: Originally published in 1926, this book attempts to reconstruct the Old Latin text of the Bible used by St Augustine prior to his adoption of the Vulgate translation in the early fifth century. Milne compares the passages cited in Augustine's pre-Vulgate writings to those cited after the new Latin translation's publication and examines the extent to which Augustine continued to be influenced by the older version even in later writings. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Augustine, the transformation of church Latin or the history of biblical translation. |
