| Summary |
"Latin Vulgate, Daniel: Prophetia Danielis" is a religious text consisting of the Book of Daniel from the Latin Vulgate, likely compiled during the late antiquity period. This work presents a blend of historical narratives and prophetic visions, focusing on the life of the prophet Daniel and his experiences in the Babylonian captivity, alongside his prophecies regarding future kingdoms and the ultimate destiny of God's people. The opening of the text introduces us to Daniel and his fellow Hebrew companions—Ananias, Misael, and Azarias—who are selected by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon for training in the royal court. The text showcases Daniel's commitment to his faith, as he chooses to abstain from the king's rich food and wine, seeking instead a diet of vegetables and water. God honors this decision, granting Daniel and his friends extraordinary wisdom and understanding, which ultimately leads to their distinguishing success in the royal court. This sets the stage for the subsequent dramatic events, including Daniel's interpretation of dreams and visions that reveal significant truths about empires and their downfalls.
