Abstract

This part of the study (Part 2) examines and summarizes the detailed analyses of verses from Sirach 41–42 presented in Part 1 in order to show in practice (1) which version of the Vulgate the Nova Vulgata bases itself upon; (2) to what degree the Nova Vulgata adjusts the Vulgate to the LXX; (3) where the Hebrew sources differ significantly from the LXX, to what degree the Nova Vulgata adjusts the Vulgate to the Hebrew; and (4) to what extent the results of (2) and (3) coincide with the Nova Vulgata’s remit for Sirach as specified by introductory remarks in the Nova Vulgata itself and in early articles on this issue. Finally, (5) some remarks are offered on the possible reasons for the Nova Vulgata’s inconsistency in relation to the preceding matters and on ways in which such inconsistency might be rectified in a future revision.
