, 02:24, February 6, 2009→More on dates and other problems: On the Vulgate and more on the Wisdom books.
:::::On another note, your objection to the Ussher chronology based on the availability of documents is logical, but I would argue that it is much easier to doubt the secular dates of documents compared to the approximately 1600 year period between creation and flood obtained from an exegesis of Genesis. Although, the general disparity between Septuagint and Vulgate would perhaps speak to the contrary! Nonetheless, fascinating...time to dig a little deeper.

:::::: I'm also surprised that the Vulgate gives a different date. I notice, though, that our [[Latin Vulgate]] article says that Jerome originally translated some of the OT books from the Septuagint, so does this explain the different date? The Septuagint is well known as having different (and impossible) dates, and is generally rejected as a reliable source of those dates.
:::::: Andy, I forgot to reply to your comment about some psalms being quite old. You are correct, but these very old ones I think are quite few in number and don't really change the fact that most of the Wisdom books greatly post-date Moses. The possible exceptions are Job (as I mentioned), and a ''very few'' of the psalms.
