Quis autem fuerit auctor huius editionis, qua ecclesia utitur, mea non multum refert, hoc unum tantum affirmo, indignam esse quae Saint Jerome (Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus) (*347 – †419/420), theologian and scholar, author of the Latin translation of the Bible (Vulgate), one of the Doctors of the Churchdivo HieronymoSaint Jerome (Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus) (*347 – †419/420), theologian and scholar, author of the Latin translation of the Bible (Vulgate), one of the Doctors of the Church tribuatur: constat hunc per omnia Graecam editionem secutum, vertisse quicquid vertit, cuius non minus obscurus est auctor, quam est nostrae huius.

Ex hoc ergo certum est et ex Iosepho in praefatione antiquitatum Iudaicarum, immo ex ipso Saint Jerome (Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus) (*347 – †419/420), theologian and scholar, author of the Latin translation of the Bible (Vulgate), one of the Doctors of the Churchdivo HieronymoSaint Jerome (Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος, Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus) (*347 – †419/420), theologian and scholar, author of the Latin translation of the Bible (Vulgate), one of the Doctors of the Church non uno tantum loco, ipsos septuaginta duos tantum legem, hoc est quinque libros Moses religious leader, lawgiver, and prophetMosiMoses religious leader, lawgiver, and prophet, in linguam Graecam transtulisse; absolverunt enim id, ad quod vocati fuerant, eo, inquit Aristeas putative author of "Letter of Aristeas to Filokrates"AristaeasAristeas putative author of "Letter of Aristeas to Filokrates", dierum numero, quo erant ipsi, hoc est duobus et septuaginta.

Ego tantum nativum quendam gustum horum psalmorum dare volui, futurum sperans, ut olim ecclesiae consensu totum vetus testamentum doctis et linguarum peritis in nostram linguam transferendum committatur, quemadmodum audio hunc nostrum summum Clement VII (Giulio de' Medici) (*1478 – †1534), 1523-1534 Popepontificem ClementemClement VII (Giulio de' Medici) (*1478 – †1534), 1523-1534 Pope septimum ante nuperrimam Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy SeeRomanae urbisRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See expugnationem tentasse, ut videlicet ea provincia sex The Jews IudaeisThe Jews et sex Christianis Hebraice peritis mandaretur.

Habe itaque, mi Dantisce, non nostri tantum saeculi praesulum decus, quod a me nullus impetrasset alius, quantumvis id multi conati sint, et boni et docti nec mediocriter magni viri, non quod illos iudicaverim hisce meis nugis indignos, sed quod mihi persuadere numquam potuerim aliquid inesse, quod doctis placere posset. Quid ergo causae sit fortasse ipse tu rogabis, cur nunc tibi dem, quod nulli dare constitueram. Paucis respondebo: fama nominis tui, qua mihi annis non paucis cognitus fuisti, et ipsa prae f. Aiiiv sentia, quae famam adeo non minuit, ut auxerit etiam vehementer, cogunt me credere plus tibi, quam ipsi mihi: deprehendi enim non fallacibus argumentis reculam quandam in te; oportet enim minimum quiddam esse, quod vix ulla linguae pluribus dignata est syllabis, quam una; ea Hebraeis est leb[1], Graecis - νους, Latinis - mens. Tu, si voles, ex reliquis linguis addes, novisti enim totius Europe (Europa), the continentEuropaeEurope (Europa), the continent ferme omnes; haec certe syllaba magis me rapuit in amorem tui, quam ullae tuae opes, aut in me innumera alioqui beneficia, et quid me non raperet, cum per eam, cum summa eruditione et nequaquam Sarmatica civilitate coniunctam, ad pontificale culmen evectus sis, et merito apud potentissimos principes tam sit gratiosus meus hic Sarmata, ut si quidlibet indutus celeberrima per loca vadat, omnis Dantiscum deceat color et status et res. Vale, Domine mi, et has qualescumque laboris mei primitias consule boni, meliora tibi promitto et alia multa et haec fortassis ipsa, si Deus vitam concesserit.

Postscript:

Titulos psalmis omnibus Hebraice addere constitueram, si Johannes Petreius (Hans Peterlein) (*1496 or 1497 – †1550), printer in Basel and Nuremberg, first editor of Nicolaus Copernicus' "De revolutionibus" (1543) (NDB, Bd. 20, p. 262-263)PetreiusJohannes Petreius (Hans Peterlein) (*1496 or 1497 – †1550), printer in Basel and Nuremberg, first editor of Nicolaus Copernicus' "De revolutionibus" (1543) (NDB, Bd. 20, p. 262-263) typos habuisset ad praesentem usum politos satis. Verum ea iactura magna videri cuiquam non debet, propterea quod tantum Hebraice adscripturus fueram, persuasum enim habebam doctissimorum The Jews IudaeorumThe Jews opinione nihil illos facere ad psalmorum intellegentiam, sed praecipua vocabula, quae in illis ponuntur, significare instrumenta quaedam musica aut genera cantionum saeculis illis notissimarum. The Jews Hominibus HebraicisThe Jews reliqui eam pronuntiationem, qua apud nos nota sunt, nec enim possumus Latina scriptura ea cum nativa pronuntiatione sic reddere, ut The Jews IudaeisThe Jews et Latinis non merito ridiculi videamur.

In 1525, the Order’s last Grand Master, Albrecht von Hohenzollern, converted to Lutheranism and became the first lay duke in former Teutonic Prussia (dux in Prussia), which from then on was called Ducal Prussia (Prussia Ducalis).
