The Book of Tobit - A Chaldee Text From an Unique Ms. In the Bodleian Library With Other Rabbinical Texts, English Translations and the Itala #229258

Accordingly, if we take into consideration the somewhat arbitrary proceedings of the Rabbi who adapted his text to the Midrash, and of Jerome who paid more attention to the sense than to the words, and who evidently made many additions (e. G. Ii. 12 — 19, iii. 16 — 23, vi. 17 to end), we may venture to say that our Chaldee text in a more com plete form was the original from which the translation of the Vulgate was made.
