Saint Jerome in the Renaissance Paperback - 1988
by Eugene F. Rice
This award-winning book traces Saint Jerome's changing images and fortunes from 1300 to 1600 and charts how culture has celebrated his life.
First line
Saint Jerome (his Latin names, Eusebius Hieronymus, derive from the Greek and mean "devout" and "of sacred name") (fig.1) was born around A.D. 345 of the well-to-do Christian parents at Stridon, in Dalmatia, a town so efficiently sacked by the Goths (in 379 perhaps, after they had shattered the imperial army at Adrianople) that we can be fairly sure only that it was in what army is today Yugoslavia and within comfortable reach of Aquileia, the large commercial, military, and administrative port at the head of the Adriatic.
From the rear cover
Just as they aspired to revive the Greek and Roman past, so the humanist scholars of the Renaissance sought to retrieve the early Christian era. Among the most fully studied figures of Christian antiquity was Saint Jerome. Eugene Rice's award-winning book traces the saint's changing images and fortunes from 1300 to 1600 and charts how culture-- popular and elite, secular and sacred, pietistic and scholarly-- celebrated those aspects of Jerome's life that best suited its own purposes.
