Description
Summary:In the Vulgate, the famous friendship of Jonathan and David is described in the Vulgate with the verb diligere and the noun amor . While we do not know anything about the translator’s – Jerome’s – attitude toward homosexuality, he did not hesitate to use words that may imply a homoerotic relationship.
In der Vulgata wird die berühmte Freundschaft zwischen Jonathan und David mit dem Verb diligere und dem Substantiv amor beschrieben. Obwohl wir nichts über die Einstellung des Übersetzers – Hieronymus – zur Homosexualität wissen, zögerte er nicht, Wörter zu verwenden, die eine homoerotische Beziehung implizieren könnten.
