The Life of St. Jerome

Gennadius of Massilia grants this contemporary insight into the life of his friend St. Jerome. The relationship between the two men is unknown, as was of Romano-Gallic extraction, and appears to have never met St. Jerome in person. He gives biographical accounts most based upon St. Jerome's own writings about his life and the path he took in life as an author and a churchman. This text includes both the English translation and the original Latin text.
