Abstract

Jerome of Stridon (ca. 347-420 ce) was, after Origen, one of few Christian
scholars of antiquity who engaged in profound studies of the biblical languages
Greek and Hebrew. His stylistically accomplished Latin translation was
received as the standard Bible of Western Christianity for a millennium – the
Vulgate. Besides his intense studies of literature and languages, Jerome’s monumental
achievement as a biblical scholar was grounded in monastic enthusiasm,
the teaching of a wide range of exegetes of Christian and Jewish provenance, a
knowledge of biblical geography, and an academic network that spanned the Mediterranean
basin.
