Disputatio:Liber Numeri

Ugg, gross. Isn't the title either Liber Numerorum or, colloquially, just Numeri? Who says "Liber Numeri" ('the book of Number'?)?? --Iustinus (disputatio) 19:43, 6 Decembris 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's what it's called in the Vulgate, or at least in the Clementine version thereof (Romae–Tornaci–Parisiis, 1956), which I'm holding in my hands right now: Liber Numeri Hebraice Vaiedabber. IacobusAmor (disputatio) 19:51, 6 Decembris 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then I stand corrected (but still, ew). I guess the two words are in apposition—this strikes me as highly questionable, but then what else would I expect from the Vulgate? ;) --Iustinus (disputatio) 19:59, 6 Decembris 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Liber Numeri" is only a redirect. Neander moved the page to "Numeri" 2 weeks ago (perhaps unaware of the attestation that Iacobus cites), so why is this discussion here, O amici? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 20:36, 6 Decembris 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Iacobus was adding hyperlinks to sisith, a couple of which took the form [[Liber Numeri|Numerorum liber]]; this drew my attention hither. --Iustinus (disputatio) 20:45, 6 Decembris 2012 (UTC)[reply]
