City of Letters
Joshua 15.15 (Douay-Rheims version, followed by Vulgate):
Newer› ‹Older
And going up from thence he came to the inhabitants of Dabir, which before was called Cariath-Sepher, that is to say, the city of letters.Judges 1.11:
Atque inde profectus abiit ad habitatores Dabir, cujus nomen vetus erat Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
And departing from thence he went to the inhabitants of Dabir, the ancient name of which was Cariath-Sepher, that is, the city of letters.Pope Gregory IX, in his bull Parens scientiarum (April 13, 1231), said that Paris was "velut altera Cariath Sepher" (like another Cariath-Sepher).
Atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir, quae prius vocabatur Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
