Is There a Text-Critical Vulgate Commentary?
There may not be an answer. Nor any need.
I was looking at Jer 47:4 ... specifically Caphtor which normally points to Crete. The Vulgate and Peshitta point to the isle of Capadocia. I'd assume they're modernizing, but my question would be, modernizing to when?
It then dawned on me, I need a text-critical commentary on the Vulgate. I looked at Navarre; not in the ballpark.
There's also a Logos CP which looks exactly what the doctor ordered (from the Logos description). But not quite in the ballpark, either, looking at the samples.

Then I found the perfect one, but Zephaniah only. Sigh.
I did find this gorgeous set, though:

Can't read latin, but it's still gorgeous!
I'm guessing, no can do.
EDIT: Minutes Later
I got the Zeph volume, only $12 or so. Over a century old, but very interesting reading. And spoke to my Capadocia problem too. Recommended.

Can't read latin,
Might be easier just to learn latin: https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Latin-Essential-Lessons-Beginners/dp/1535448091/
Actually I don't know whether that is a good book. The easiest way might be just start reading something familiar, like the Gospel of John in Latin. Then it is exciting to figure out the meanings of the words while reading it!
