shlomo lkhoon,
Although St Jerome translated the OT from Hebrew, he corrected the Old Latin NT according to some Greek manuscript.
In regards to him being anti-Semitic; I find it strange given that he use to study with Rabbis, and from them he got the idea of translating the OT from the Hebrew instead of the Greek Septuagint.
I think the popular quote that everyone attributes to him is not his, but rather that of Saint Chrysostom (from Saint Chrysostom 8 homilies against the Jews).
I find it highly doubtful that the Peshitta had "YHWH" originally instead of the "marya".
And in regards to Talmud quote, it speaks of "Divine Names" and not "The Divine Name".
