1578 Letters of Saint Jerome Bible Catholic Church Epistles Plantin Press FOLIO

“When the stomach is full, it is easy to talk of fasting.”

 ­– Jerome, Epistle 58

Saint Jerome was a 4^th-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 16^th-century edition was collected and edited by Mariano Vittori and published by the famed Plantin Press. This particular 1578 tome contains the Epistles as well as Jerome’s commentary on numerous books of the Bible.
