    portal Bible Numerous quotations of the Hebrew Bible are made in the New Testament . In general, the New Testament writers quote from the Septuagint LXX version of the Hebrew Bible, as it was then in common use among Gentiles, both Roman and Greek, while Jews of the time spoke mainly Aramaic and Hebrew, and would either have read the Hebrew Bible in its original Hebrew, or in an Aramaic translation. However, the quotations quite often are not exact this can be attributed either to the author using a different source text, or simply to the author paraphrasing the quotation. This article is not intended as a complete reference list of Hebrew Bible quotations in the New Testament merely as an overview of the practice. Quotations not using chapter verse notation Because of the number and disparity of the New Testament authors, there is no uniform standard for these quotes.

  1. El último virrey

    El ltimo virrey in Spanish, The last viceroy is an Argentine historical novel written by Horacio Salduna , telling the life of Santiago de Liniers from the start of the British invasions of the R o de la Plata up to his death leading a counter revolution against the May Revolution . The book is closely based on the real historical events, avoiding to make subtancial changes. However, the quotations provided are both real quotations and quotations made up by the author s initiative, based on the personality of the men described and the events detailed. The story details, as well as the historical background, the relations of Liniers with his family and friends, and his enemy Mart n de lzaga . The name of the book is inaccurate, as Liniers wasn t the last viceroy of the Viceroyalty of the R o de la Plata he was replaced by Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros , and after the removal of Cisneros during the May Revolution, Javier De El o proclaimed himself viceroy. The reason of the title, suggested in the plot, is that Liniers was the last viceroy designated by a King of Spain , whereas Cisneros and De El o were designated by the Junta of Seville . This reflects the principle of the Retroversion of the sovereignty of the people of the time, that stated that only a rightful king had the power to designate viceroys, and as such Cisneros and De El o may lack such legitimacy.

The character, the supposed author of numerous historical and other works, does not appear in the novels although Dexter has used his quotations. One of the distinctive features of Dexter s Inspector Morse novels is the use of quotations as chapter headings, which began in the second novel in the series, Last Seen Wearing Dexter novel Last Seen Wearing 1976 then in the fourth, Service of All the Dead 1979 and in the sixth, The Riddle of the Third Mile 1983 onwards. However, it was not always possible to find suitable quotations for every chapter, so many were simply invented by Dexter and attributed to non existent sources, the most common of which was Diogenes Small. ref name IT Dening, Penelope.
