And these letters too, Augustine loved him some LXX: http://www.bible-researcher.com/vulgate2.html His position on Greek was more hardcore than Luther's and we undoubtedly owe the revival of the Greek learning to Augustinianism

I'm too hard on Auggie sometimes. He told his students to learn it so they could be better at exegesis than him.

Yeah, he was a little pissed that Jerome relied more on the Hebrew than the Septuagint for the Vulgate This is e.g. why KJV says a "gourd" grew over Jonah but Vulgate and Douai-Rheims say "ivy" - KJV is following LXX

which sections of Genesis did you have in mind specifically? I'd be quite surprised if the whole thing didn't rely on LXX anywhere
