I’m not right that there’s a statue of Moses with horns on top of his head because Michelangelo relied upon a bad translation in the Latin Vulgate? I posted a photo upthread, you know.
So, did Moses have horns, Vlad?
“I’m not right that there’s a statue of Moses with horns on top of his head because Michelangelo relied upon a bad translation in the Latin Vulgate?”
Was that your only claim? Strange, I remember you making this claim in post #35 - the post I responded to:
“Michelangelo’s sculpture Moses sports “horns of glory” due to a translation error made by Jerome in the Latin Vulgate.”
As I demonstrated, what St. Jerome did was not an error.
“Jerome mistakenly translated the Hebrew word describing Moses’ face as “radiant in glory” as “horned” (Exodus 34:29).”
I also demonstrated that is simply not what happened.
and, you wrote:
“This error in the Latin Vulgate was compounded in 1515 when Michelangelo...”
Clearly there was no compounding of any error. The statue is a masterpiece by any artistic standard.
“I posted a photo upthread, you know.”
You posted errors upthread, you know.
“So, did Moses have horns, Vlad?”
Horns of light yes - just as the Hebrew says.
