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

sorry the curse on adam and the curse on eve = 1/2 the chapter... I can't spot the difference you're talking about comparing the KJV and Douai-Reims so idk where to look
