"Yahweh" is often thought to be a purely modern rendering of the Hebrew name, but Smalley finds a medieval glossator who writes the name as "Iahave." She goes on: "The 'monstrous form' Jehoveh was already known to Christians in the late thirteenth century. Henry Crossy seems to compromise between Jehoveh and Jahweh by writing Iehave. . . . St. Jerome used IHAO; the IABE of the Greek Father, Theodoret, was probably unknown to him; nor was he likely to have been in contact with the Samaritans, who until quite recent times pronounced 'Jahweh.'"
