Jerome’s translation of the Bible
ˇ Perhaps the first copyright dispute
ˇ In 521, the Irish missionary Columba
secretly copied a very treasured
translation of the Bible.  When his master
Finnian found out, he demanded that
Columba turn over the copy.  Columba
refused and the matter went to the High
King of Ireland, Diarmit.
ˇ What do you guess the ruling was?
