This book assembles eighteen studies by internationally renowned
scholars that epitomize the latest and best advances in research on
the greatest polymath in Latin Christian antiquity, Jerome of
Stridon (c.346-420) traditionally known as "Saint Jerome." It is
divided into three sections which explore topics such as the
underlying motivations behind Jerome's work as a hagiographer,
letter-writer, theological controversialist, translator and exegete
of the Bible, his linguistic competence in Greek, Hebrew, and
Syriac, his relations to contemporary Jews and Judaism as well as
to the Greek and Latin patristic traditions, and his reception in
both the East and West in late antiquity down through the
Protestant Reformation. Familiar debates are re-opened, hitherto
uncharted terrain is explored, and problems old and new are posed
and solved with the use of innovative methodologies. This
monumental volume is an indispensable resource not only for
specialists on Jerome but also for students and scholars who
cultivate interests broadly in the history, religion, society, and
literature of the late antique Christian world.
