Giannozzo Manetti (1396-1459) was one of the intellectual giants of the 15th century in the field of translation. His translation of the New Testament remains (as far as I can tell) unpublished. However, thanks to the digital age (and thanks to James Snapp pointing my way to the manuscripts), the manuscripts are available to view online. At Revelation 16:5, Manetti has:
et audiui angelum quartum dicentem. Justus es domine qui es et qui eras Sanctus. quiaa hec iudicaste.
(162v)
(Urb.lat.6 250v)
The Greek from which Manetti was translating is known. The Greek manuscript he used for Revelation 16:5 is this:
(Pal.gr.171 176r) aka GA 149 (15th century)
As you can see, the text here is: ... ὁ ὢν καὶ ὁ ἦν ὁ ὅσιος ...Evidently, Manetti also had access to and relied upon a Vulgate manuscript:
(Pal. lat. 18 389v)

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
