Complete Definition of "Deuteronomy"

English

Etymology
From the name which the book bears in the Septuagint (�ε��ε�ο��μιο�) and in the Vulgate (Deuteronomium). This is based upon the erroneous Septuagint rendering of "mishnah ha-torah ha-zot" (xvii. 18), which grammatically can mean only "a repetition [that is, a copy] of this law," but which is rendered by the Septuagint �ὸ �ε��ε�ο��μιο� �οῦ�ο, as though the expression meant "this repetition of the law."
