Between 11 and 15 March 2019, Professor Christiane Veyrard-Cosme (Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle) gave the first session of “Biblical Latin” at the École Biblique. Attended by 4 members of our editorial committee, among others, it provided an opportunity to explore the richness of this textual tradition, which is now being rediscovered in its entirety, and to do some practical translation work, aimed in particular at respecting, in the French rendering, the figures of meaning that are so abundant in Latin.
