BOOK DESCRIPTIONS
Uncover the ancient roots of the Latin Bible with The Old Latin Fragments (Vetus Latina)—a thoroughly evangelical and scholarly exploration of the pre-Vulgate Latin translations of the Old Testament. Edward D. Andrews delivers a meticulous textual analysis of six rare and significant manuscripts, including Codex Wirceburgiensis, Codex Lugdunensis, Codex Vindobonensis, the Constance Prophetic Fragments, and the bilingual Codex Veronensis.
 
This volume also includes six in-depth appendices focused on Jerome’s Latin Vulgate and its most important manuscript witnesses: Codex Amiatinus, Codex Fuldensis, Codex Sangallensis 1395, Codex Cavensis, and Codex Toletanus. These studies provide valuable insights into the post-Jerome Latin Bible and its role in preserving the Scriptural text.
 
With a high view of Scripture and a commitment to ascertaining the original words of the original text, Andrews examines the textual relationships between the Vetus Latina, the Vulgate, the Septuagint, and the Masoretic Text. This book is an essential resource for Bible scholars, pastors, and all who seek to understand how God’s Word was faithfully transmitted through centuries of textual tradition.
