In the Vulgate, this term was used metaphorically to describe the king of Babylon in Isaiah, as well as Simon son of Onias and even Jesus Christ himself.
In the Vulgate, this term was used metaphorically to describe the king of Babylon in Isaiah, as well as Simon son of Onias and even Jesus Christ himself. More literally, it described both "the signs of the zodiac" and "the light of the morning" in Job, as well as "the aurora" in Psalms; however, these descriptions have not survived translation. Petavius argued that St. Jerome's use of it in other places is incorrect, as it should denote the state of original glory, not the name of the major one to forfeit that state. For 10 points, identify this term, often used in Christian tradition as a synonym for Satan in reference to the light of the morning star.
