A creative, independent, Irish exegetical tradition was well
established by the year 700 CE, influencing Northumbria but not
Continental Europe. This book contains eight studies by the
distinguished Irish biblical scholar, Martin McNamara, which he has
published over the past twenty-five years, on the Latin biblical
texts (Vulgate, Gallicanum and Jerome's Hebraicum) of the Psalter
and commentaries on it in Ireland from 600 CE onwards. The oldest
Irish Vulgate text, the Cathach of St Columba of Iona (died 597),
shows signs of correction against the Irish recension of the Hebrew
text. The central exegetical tradition is strongly Antiochene,
being dependent on the commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia (in
Julian's translation), while another branch understands the Psalms
as principally about David, rather than christologically or as
about later Jewish history.
