English summary: Towards the end of the 4th century - for the first time in the history of Latin-speaking Christianity - Jerome, the Father of the Church translated the writings of the Old Testament from the Hebrew, hebraica veritas. According to his own testimony he borrowed from the Septuagint and the hexaplaric translations (Aquila, Symmachus and Theodotion) and also allowed himself to be briefed by Jewish scholars on philological and exegetical traditions. Weigert compares the Latin text of the book of Deuteronomy to these sources as well as to more contemporary Jewish literature (Targums, Midrash) in order to reveal the principles that guided Jerome in his translations, as well as the sources on which he drew when tackling the hebraica veritas . German description: Gegen Ende des 4. Jahrhunderts unternahm es der Kirchenvater Hieronymus - erstmals in der Geschichte des lateinischsprachigen Christentums - die Schriften des Alten Testaments aus dem Hebraischen, der hebraica veritas, zu ubersetzen. Nach eigenem Zeugnis nimmt er dabei Anleihen bei der Septuaginta und den hexaplarischen Ubersetzungen (Aquila, Symmachus und Theodotion); weiterhin lasst er sich von judischen Gelehrten uber philologische und exegetische Traditionen informieren. Weigert vergleicht den lateinischen Text des Buchs Deuteronomium mit den genannten Quellen sowie mit zeitgenossischer judischer Literatur (Targumim, Midraschim), um zu erhellen, von welchen Prinzipien sich Hieronymus beim Ubersetzen leiten lasst und aus welchen Quellen er schopft, um sich der hebraica veritas zu nahern.
