The Reformation Bibles we know have a different book order and combination of books than the Hebrew Bible, and its tri-partite division.
Where did this Christian book-order arise ? It is said sometimes that it arose from the Greek Tanach (socalled LXX) translations, but those manuscripts are quite inconsistent, so I am skeptical of that claim, at least it needs more detail about who, where, when.
Is there a study of the process that gave us the current Christian Bible
book order in Tanach ? Is this discussed in early days, like with Jerome ?
How did he order his Latin Vulgate, translated from the Hebrew-Aramaic ?
Do we know ?
