1682 Bible & Letters of Saint
Jerome Catholic Church History Asceticism PARIS
“When the
stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.”
– Jerome, Epistle 58
Saint Jerome was a 4th-century, early
church father. While he was most known for his translation of the Bible, he
also wrote a collection of letters which are now known his ‘Epistles.’ These
letters were written on a variety of topics, but most of them were written as
warnings against sin and detestable devices such as sexual immorality within
the clergy, clothing advised for virgins, gluttony and fasting, and laboring
over Biblical texts. These letters were written to and from important men and
women of the church such as Augustine, Theophilus, Heliodorus, and the Popes.
This 1682 French edition was published in Paris by
Couterot, translated by Jean Petit, and features a portrait frontispiece of
Jerome.
