3 - 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
and with him it remains forever, and is before all time
… There is but one, Most High … and he is the God of dominion.
It is the LORD; he created her through the Holy Spirit”
[Source]

 

Jerome’s Original

Jerome’s Biblia Sacra Vulgata, Sirach Chapter One:

1. Omnis sapientia a Deo Domino est et cum illo fuit semper et est ante aevum

8 unus est Altissimus creator omnipotensrex potens et metuendus nimis sedens super thronum illius et dominans Deus

9 ipse creavit illam spiritu sancto et vidit et dinumeravit et mensus est
[Source Logos Software]

 

English translation :

Sapientia – Wisdom

spiritu-santo – Holy Spirit (Ghost)

 Jerome’s Vulgate Translation

 
Cf.  CCC 292  Cf.  CCC  1831, 1299
