Excerpt from The Old Latin and the Itala: With an Appendix Containing the Text of the S. Gallen Palimpsest of Jeremiah

The following Essays have grown out of a lecture delivered at Oxford during the Lent Term of the present year. My original object was not so much to give a general summary of what is known about Latin Versions of the Bible as to call attention to certain detached points of interest connected with the subject, which could be studied with more or less completeness by themselves. These points once settled, a firmer hold would be gained upon the general problems which confront the student in this complicated subject. One of these points, the identification of S. Augustine's Itala with the Vulgate, was of sufficient importance to expand into an Essay by itself. The rest of the lecture has been left as it was originally delivered, but I have added some Notes to what might appear the more hazardous statements in the text. These Notes will, I hope, serve to justify and to illustrate the positions I have been led to take, and to form an apology for the publication of the Essays.

To have come to novel conclusions after working at such familiar materials as the quotations of Tertullian and SS. Cyprian and Augustine fills me with some alarm for the correctness of my reasoning, and makes me wish to have the judgment of specialists upon my work. But whatever may be thought of the explanation of the Itala, here revived for the first time since the days of the compilation of the Glossa Ordinaria, I cannot but think that the story of Felix the Manichee, taken in connection with the undoubted use of the Vulgate in the de Consensu Evangelistarum, ought to modify current ideas of the composition of the New Testament in the African Church of the fifth century.
