The Complete Works of Saint Jerome (13 Books): Cross-Linked to the Bible

by Jerome, Philip Schaff (Translator)

St. Jerome was born around the year 345 AD. In 360 he went to Rome and was baptized. He then left the world to become a hermit on an island. He pursued a life of study, learning Latin, Greek and later Hebrew. He left the island and traveled into the Eastern Roman world, settling in Antioch in 378. After a time he returned to Rome and then went to Bethlehem where he would eventually die, September 30, 420. Most of his life he dedicated to perhaps his most famous work, of translating the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate). This would become the standard text used by the Roman Catholic church up until the present day. Jerome also translated numerous works of early church fathers and composed a number of his own works. These include commentaries on various scriptures, as well the lives of saints that he was familiar with. Jerome's writings and translations had, and still have an enormous impact on the Roman Catholic church. 1. Letters (150) 2. The Perpetual Virginity of Blessed Mary 3.

About the author

St. Jerome (born c. 347) (formerly Saint Hierom) (Latin: Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus; Greek: Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος) was a Roman Catholic priest, confessor, theologian and historian, and who became a Doctor of the Church. He was the son of Eusebius, of the city of Stridon, which was on the border of Dalmatia and Pannonia (possibly in modern Croatia or Slovenia). He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), and his list of writings is extensive.

He is recognized by the Catholic Church as a saint and Doctor of the Church, and the Vulgate is still an important text in Catholicism. He is also recognized as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, where he is known as St. Jerome of Stridonium or Blessed Jerome.
