Footnotes:
[1] From the Latin for seventy, this being the supposed number of the translators. It is referred to as the translation of the Seventy Elders so early as the middle of the second century. See Justin Martyr, Dialogue with Trypho, c. 68.
[2] See Philo Judæus, Life of Moses, book ii. Josephus, Antiquities, xii. ii. 5, 11, 12, 14. Eusebius, Eccl. Hist., v. 8. Josephus states that the translation was made by seventy-two elders in seventy-two days. The story as given in Eusebius is, that the seventy elders were placed apart in seventy different cells, that each translated the entire Scriptures, and that the seventy translations when compared were found to agree to a word.
[3] And this he gave, not by any formal enactment, but by using Jerome’s translation as the basis of his own Exposition of the Book of Job. (See Gregory’s Letter to Leander, forming the preface to that work.) The old version of the Psalms retained its ground apparently from its close connection with the music of the Church. From a like cause the old version of the English Psalms, which in fact was made from the Latin of the Vulgate, retains its place in the Psalter of the Prayer Book. It should however be noted that it is but the translation of the translation of a translation.
