Interpretations of Hebrew Names - Medieval dictionary of
Hebrew names contained in the Bible. The lengthy list is
arranged in strictly alphabetical order and became by the 3rd
decade of the 13th c. a regular apparatus appended to
most copies of the Bible. Although once assumed to be the
work of Remigus of Auxerre (10th C), the dictionary was
most likely compiled between 1210 and 1220 by Stephen Langton,
distinguished theologian, teacher at the Univ. of Paris, and later
Archbishop of Canterbury. (famous as mediator in
drawing up the Magna Carta, and who taught for 20 yrs
at the Univ. of Paris, d. 1228.)
