This review is from: La Bible de Jerusalem (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

Just a note of correction to the previous review. The French Bible de Jerusalem is a translation from the original languages -Hebrew and Greek. It is not a translation of the Latin Vulgate. The Vulgate itself is a translation from Hebrew and Greek. The fact that it is a translation from the original languages is one of the important characteristics of the Bible de Jerusalem.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible -- in French, July 15, 2001

This review is from: La Bible de Jerusalem (French Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)

Cette version francaise est actuellement la traduction originale de la Bible de Jerusalem.

This is a wonderful translation -- direct from the Latin Vulgate -- for French readers. French is my third language, and I'm not fully fluent, but the words are simple and there is not much difficulty in understanding the vocabulary. The language is poetic in places, and really flows wonderfully.

The Jerusalem Bible (in English) was actually translated from this version. It is a great reading source for practicing your French language skills, the translation is well-respected (especially for its copious, detailed footnotes), and I have facilitated my study of the language by using an English Bible and this French one side by side.
