Back in the day, corrupt priests would have loved to have this! I remember hearing that when Jerome was translating the bible into Latin, and the church wanted him to put a certain concept into the text, but he refused saying it's not in the original text. He said "show me a version of the text with this in it and I'll put in my translation." The next day a manuscript showed up with that change penciled in. So it's now in the Vulgate to this day. I'll have to try to remember what passage that was. > > > Justin > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list -- ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
