Glossary of biblical names compiled by Jerome in the second half of the 4th century. For each book that it treats, the text lists Hebrew as well as Aramaic and Greek proper names, especially personal names, in roughly alphabetical order and offers etymologies and interpretations. The work circulated widely in the Middle Ages and was also reworked, expanded, excerpted, rearranged and incorporated, for instance in gospels and other biblical manuscripts.

The opening poem or canto (84qq) in the Middle Irish series of poems known as Saltair na rann. It deals with the universe and its creation, drawing on biblical narrative as well as other sources.
A prose redaction of the Middle Irish biblical poem Saltair na rann. Myles Dillon distinguishes between two main recensions of the tract, which are most fully represented by the (incomplete) versions in the Leabhar Breac and the Book of Uí Maine respectively. The first section in the Leabhar Breac, covering the narratives from Creation to Adam and Eve, has no extant counterpart in the the Book of Uí Maine. (There is also a prose summary corresponding to the first section. It is found as a commentary to the note on place (locc) in the Pseudo-historical prologue to the Senchas Már).
