An entry from Alba Bible appeared on Misplaced Pages's Main Page in the Did you know? column on October 26, 2006. |  |
The mainpage says this is the 'first translation of the Old Testament into a Romance language'. What about the Vulgate? Latin is a Roman(ce) language!
- I have reported this at Misplaced Pages:Main Page/Errors. We'll see what happens. Thanks! --Keeves 14:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- The article on Romance languages states "The Romance languages, a major branch of the Indo-European language family, comprise all languages that descended from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. " By this definition, Latin is not a Romance language, since it does not descend from itself. 71.249.235.23 16:44, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
