Librum autem Iob etiam si a Moyse iuxta communem...
Text
Submitted by jairhaas
Source language: Latin

Librum autem Iob etiam si a Moyse iuxta communem traditionem scriptum asserverimus: tantae tamen nec apud Iudaeos nec apud Latinos auctoritatis est, ut inter prophetales locari merverit. Hoc autem Danielis liber monstrat. Ipse quippe a propheta conscriptus est, quod amplius est a propheta conditus fuit: inter prophetales taen nequaquam reperitur, sed inter agiographia sextum possidet locum; ut patet in prologo Galeato Beati Hieronymi super libros Regum.
Remarks about the translation
Please relate to this as a continuation of my former request, beginning with the sentence "An liber Iob computetur inter Prophetales; & quid requiritur ad esse librum prophetalem".

Translation
English

Translated by tarinoidenkertoja
Target language: English

Indeed if we would assume that Iob's book was also written by Moses, according to the common tradition: we would conclude that there is no such a great masterpiece neither between the Jews nor between the Latins that could be collocated among the prophetical books. The book of Daniel also testifies this. This one was written by a prophet, what is greater, it was finished by a prophet. But we cannot find it among the prophetical books at all, its place is the sixth in the agiographies; as explained in the Galeic prologue of the saint Hieronymus upon the books of the kings.
Remarks about the translation
"Auctoritas " is a common name used to call all the classics literature masterpieces (Cicero, Sallustius..) that were saved/ reinterpretated by catholic church or generally by medieval society .
"Agiographia" is the story of a saints deeds.
"Prologus Galeatus " is a part of the Vulgata ( the latin translation of the bible )

Very good translation.
This is only one clause which I would translate differently:

Ipse quippe a propheta conscriptus est, quod amplius est a propheta conditus fuit:
[Tarino]-->it too was written by a prophet ,and in addition, by a founder prophet:

[mine] -->This one (the Book of Daniel)was written by a prophet, (and) what is (even) greater/more magnificent, was composed/finished by a prophet.

One more thing. "Daniels book? Is this correct form? Shouldn't be "the Book of Daniel"?

Agree with Aneta about "(and) what is (even) greater/more magnificent, was composed/finished by a prophet".

However, the translation in great!

I've made some edits to make it sound more natural in English.
Could you guys please check if the meaning of the original was changed in any way?

Before edits:
