Talk:Vanitas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's the difference between Dutch and Netherlands? If these painters are Dutch, they are from the Netherlands and vice versa. --Leo44 | Talk 23:40, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Latin isn't the original language of Ecclesiastes
Currently, the article says:
- "Ecclesiastes 1:2 from the Bible is often quoted in conjunction with this term. From the Vulgate Bible, we get Vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas. This is translated to Vanity of vanities; all is vanity by the King James Version of the Bible, and Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless. by the New International Version of the Bible."
This sort of implies that the Latin is the original rather than another translation.
