Hi,

Beside recording the Cyropaedia, I also started to record for Librivox the Clementine Vulgate. However, I am perplexed with the preface to the modern edition.

Tantus > autem Clemens fidem catholicam tutus est opere et sermone, > quantus > et ipsius Vulgata revelationem Dei ab imminentibus periculis custodivit.

I think it should be Tantum …, quantum .. as adverbs.
Meaning that as much as Clemens protected the faith etc .etc., so much he preserved etc. etc.
A nominative quantus would refer to how big Clemens was and doesn’t make sense to me.

Singulis deinceps annuentibus Papis, > minutim > sancti libri emittebantur, et postremo anno salutis MCMXCV Biblia tota perfecta est.

minutatim

et Lutherus dimidium errorum > coæqualum > nostrorum non cogitavit.

coaequalium

Do you agree?

I certainly agree with the first. That’s a bad mistake from an editor of a Latin text!

And with the third. Doesn’t the Pope have latinists at his disposal?

EDIT. Oh, or is this new edition a rearguard action against the Church’s controversial adoption of the Neo-Vulgate in place of the venerable Clementine? That was John Paul II’s doing—not a traditionalist’s favorite pope.

Later, the editor of the project corrected number 1 and 3. We both agreed to keep mĭnūtim.
