"Thanks are due to The Newman Press for permission to reproduce material from Thomas P. Scheck's previous translation of St. Jerome's Epistles 18A/B, which appears in the appendix of St. Jerome: Commentary on Isaiah, including St. Jerome's translation of Origen's Homilies 1-9 on Isaiah, Ancient Christian Writers 68 (New York and Mahwah, NJ: The Newman Press, 2015). Although Dr. Scheck has used a different Latin text for his new translation in the present volume, there is a high degree of overlap between the two texts and the two translations. The Newman Press has also kindly granted permission to reproduce some material from Dr. Scheck's introduction and endnotes in his previous volume"--Title page verso. Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Summary:
"This is an English translation, with introduction and notes, of the Latin texts of selected letters written by or to St. Jerome. (Most were written by him rather than to him.) These are letters that deal with biblical interpretation, which will be of interest to scholars of patristic exegesis. St. Jerome was born around 347 and died in 420 C.E. A Latin-speaking Christian priest and scholar, he spent most of his career in the monastery that he established in Bethlehem. He is known as the author of many essays, letters, and biblical commentaries, and especially as the translator of most of the Latin Vulgate Bible"-- Provided by publisher.
