1582 Bible & Letters of Saint Jerome Catholic Church History Asceticism RARE 1^st

“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 such as sexual immorality within the clergy, 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 1582 edition was published in Paris translated by Petrus Canisius.
