- 2:13‘Speciosam’ is capitalized after the Vercellone 1861 edition of the Vulgate, and because it clearly is used, as if a name, to refer to something specific. It could also, in this context, be loosely translated as ‘what was once called Beautiful,’ or, ‘the so-called Beautiful,’ since it is clear from subsequent verses that this place was not beautiful to God.(Conte)
- 2:13The beautiful city: Ninive, which was destroyed soon after this, viz., in the sixteenth year of the reign of Josias.(Challoner)
