The
Jerusalem Bible is the translation in which Tolkien had a part. As he wrote in his letter to the Plimmers in 1967:
Quote:
|
I was consulted on one or two points of style, and criticized some contributions of others. I was originally assigned a large amount of text to translate, but after doing some necessary preliminary work I was obliged to resign owing to the pressure of other work, and only completed 'Jonah', one of the shortest books.
