Ezra (Vulgate). | Domnion and
Rogatianus, about a.d. 388. Jerome points out
the advantages he enjoyed, in living in Palestine, for obtaining
correct information on matters illustrative of Scripture, especially
the names of places. The mss. of the LXX. on
such points were so corrupt that occasionally three names were run into
one, and “you would think that you had before you, not a heap of
Hebrew names, but those of some foreign and Sarmatian tribe.”
Jerome had sent for a Jew, highly esteemed among his brethren, from
Tiberias, and, after “examining him from top to toe,” had,
by his aid, emended the text and made the translation. But he had not
the critical knowledge to guard him against supposing that the Books of
Chronicles are “the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of
Judah,” referred to in the Books of Kings.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
