- An allusion to Wisdom
In Jerome’s Latin translation of the Old Testament
for Sirach (Ecclesiasticus – meaning “Church Book”) chapter 1, verses 1
and 9, he states that Wisdom is created by the Holy Spirit.
Sirach 1:1-9
“All wisdom comes from the LORD

… There is but one, Most High … and he is the God of dominion.
It is the LORD; he created her
through the Holy Spirit”
