| English Translation: | Preface translated by K.P. Edgecomb: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/jerome_preface_psalms_lxx.htm Preface translated in W.H. Fremantle, "Preface to the Psalter" in NPNF2, vol. 6 (New York, 1893), pp. 487-88. |
| Notes: | This translation was so successful that the Gauls preferred it to Jerome's translation from the Hebrew, hence it was eventually incorporated into the Vulgate instead of Jerome's later translations. For this reason it is sometimes called the Gallican Psalter.. |
