La traduzione della Bibbia in Italia

History of the translation of the Bible into Italian through the cultural epochs: 1.

The Revival of Biblical Studies (xix sec.): from the Vulgate to the texts in the original languages; the first critical editions - 3. A New Publishing Spring (xx-xxi sec.): the preceding years the Second Vatican Council; the season of the council and its effects - 4. Some Methodological Consideration: the source is constituted by the most ancient and best manuscripts; the lexicon and style are conforming to the current language; translation is collective work of the church for the whole Christian community - 5. The New Edition of the CEI Version: the translators treat the textual problems and they propose a solution of these; a balance between literal and free interpretation - 6. Further Bibliography
