Even for an experienced reader of Latin, the Psalter sometimes
follows underlying Greek and ultimately Hebrew idiom too literally
and thus poses real difficulties. This new commentary on selected
psalms, the first to be published for many years, seeks to resolve
these problems by placing the Latin within its historical
linguistic context. For the reader without Hebrew and only a little
Greek, it clarifies how those languages, by bilingual interference
and over-literal translation, have influenced and shaped idioms.
Finally, it demonstrates how Early Christian exegetes, especially
Augustine, confronted unidiomatic peculiarities in a fundamentalist
way; specifically, how the resorted to an exegetical resolution of
what they perceived as an underlying theological mystery.The psalms
have been selected to illustrate the character of this Hebraising,
Hellenising post-classical Latin. The commentary, with a glossary
of grammatical terms, is accessible to both the beginner and the
more advanced reader.
