Saint Jerome (died 420 AD) is the patron saint of translators. His Latin translation of the Bible, called the Vugate, was the official text for 16 Centuries. You can read it online: www.biblestudytools.com/vul/ I always envied him his library and the well behaved kitty kat that didn't jump up on the table when he was trying to read.
I didn't really know Jan van Eyck personally although we ran into each 
other at a wedding reception once.
