And more to my interest, what was Luther's source on the Old Testament? I am a singer who is confused by the literal translation of a Psalms verse used by Brahms in his requiem. Brahms took his lines from the Luther Bible, which does not appear to jive with the KJV, the Douay, the Vulgate or the Septugint. Any info would be appreciated. Also, I'll send you the verse if you like.

My email is in my profile. <BR/><BR/>Several people have emailed me about your fonts but unfortunately my files have been corrupted. I forwarded some of them on to you but I need to check and see if there are others.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-36674317000390815612008-08-14T08:54:00.000-07:002008-08-14T08:54:00.000-07:00Oops!

Now you may well be right that he looked at the Latin as well as the Greek. But we mustn't play down the uniqueness of his contribution by denying that he translated basically from the Greek, at least unless there is good evidence for that.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.com
