This essays studies the biblical hermeneutics of Cornelius a Lapide, focusing on his knowledge of Hebrew. After reviewing a post-Tridentine bias against Catholic biblical studies, the essay is divided in three parts. The first part is a brief introduction to a Lapide’s life; the second part addresses his position on the Vulgate and its relationship to the original languages of scripture; and the third part presents key passages from a Lapide on the Hebrew language, drawn from his biblical commentaries. In the end, I argue that regardless of a Lapide’s imperfect knowledge of Hebrew, he still shows that Catholic scholars could engage in a close study of scripture’s original languages after Trent’s decree on the Vulgate, and could incorporate works from across confessional boundaries.

特伦特之后的耶稣会希伯来语研究：Cornelius a Lapide (1567–1637)

这篇文章研究了 Cornelius a Lapide 的圣经诠释学，重点是他对希伯来语的了解。在回顾了对天主教圣经研究的后三叉戟偏见之后，这篇文章分为三个部分。第一部分是对Lapide生活的简要介绍；第二部分阐述了他对通俗文的立场及其与原始圣经语言的关系；第三部分介绍了 Lapide 关于希伯来语的关键段落，摘自他的圣经注释。最后，我认为，尽管 Lapide 对希伯来语的了解并不完善，但他仍然表明，天主教学者可以在特伦特 (Trent) 颁布关于武加特 (Vulgate) 的法令之后仔细研究圣经的原始语言，并且可以将跨教派界限的作品纳入其中。
