Saint Jérôme souffre parfois du voisinage trop éclatant de son illustre contemporain Augustin. Qu’il s’essaie dans le genre historique avec la Chronique et aussitôt s’élève le choeur des voix qui lui préfèrent l’ampleur et la portée théologique de la Cité de Dieu ! Mais une telle comparaison, qui ne tient compte ni des enjeux ni du contexte spécifiques de chaque œuvre, est forcément réductrice et conduit inévitablement à des classements arbitraires et spécieux. L’œuvre historique d’Augustin, composée après 410, aurait été différente si Jérôme ne s’était pas mis en tête, vers 380, de faire connaître au monde latin l’historiographie chrétienne grecque et de traduire la Chronique d’Eusèbe de Césarée. Sa contribution ne se limite d’ailleurs pas à une simple traduction puisqu’il a lui-même composé, pour les années 326-378, un prolongement à cette chronique. C’est cette continuation que le lecteur trouvera ici. Les figures de l’empereur Constantin et de ses fils y côtoient celles, toutes nimbées de sainteté, de moines et d’évêques dont l’idéal ascétique et la doctrine ne sont pas toujours du goût du pouvoir temporel ; on y assiste aux derniers soubresauts de la réaction païenne avec le passage fugitif de Julien, le fameux « apostat », aux commandes de l’Empire ; on y voit les barbares d’Occident et d’Orient tenir tête à la puissance romaine tandis que l’Église, en proie aux âpres disputes des partisans et adversaires d’Arius, connaît une grave crise d’adolescence. Et sur tout cela s’abat parfois avec fracas une averse de grêle meurtrière ou le malheur d’un tremblement de terre dévastateur. Dans le style concis caractéristique des chroniques, Jérôme nous fournit ici un abrégé de l’histoire de son temps dans lequel l’historien d’aujourd’hui pourra glaner des informations précieuses pour la compréhension et la connaissance du IVe siècle.

In the West, monastic ideals and scholastic pursuits are complementary; monks are popularly imagined copying classics, preserving learning through the Middle Ages, and establishing the first universities. But this dual identity is not without its contradictions. While monasticism emphasizes the virtues of poverty, chastity, and humility, the scholar, by contrast, requires expensive infrastructure-a library, a workplace, and the means of disseminating his work. In The Monk and the Book, Megan Hale Williams argues that Saint Jerome was the first to represent biblical study as a mode of asceticism appropriate for an inhabitant of a Christian monastery, thus pioneering the enduring linkage of monastic identities and institutions with scholarship. Revisiting Jerome with the analytical tools of recent cultural history-including the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, and Roger Chartier-Williams proposes new interpretations that remove obstacles to understanding the life and legacy of the saint. Examining issues such as the construction of Jerome's literary persona, the form and contents of his library, and the intellectual framework of his commentaries, Williams shows that Jerome's textual and exegetical work on the Hebrew scriptures helped to construct a new culture of learning. This fusion of the identities of scholar and monk, Williams shows, continues to reverberate in the culture of the modern university. "[Williams] has written a fascinating study, which provides a series of striking insights into the career of one of the most colorful and influential figures in Christian antiquity. Jerome's Latin Bible would become the foundational text for the intellectual development of the West, providing words for the deepest aspirations and most intensely held convictions of an entire civilization. Williams's book does much to illumine the circumstances in which that fundamental text was produced, and reminds us that great ideas, like great people, have particular origins, and their own complex settings."-Eamon Duffy, New York Review of Books

The Saint's Saints presents Jerome’s world picture as seen through his saints’ Lives . It analyses both his rhetoric and his descriptions of realia , and the way he combines classical, Christian and Jewish sources to re-write the biblical Holy Land as a new and Christian world for his readers. Susan Weingarten looks at how Jerome dovetails his literary sources with his experience of the material world of the fourth century to write the Lives of the saints Paul, Hilarion, Malchus and Paula, effectively using them to write the Life of Saint Jerome. This is the first full-length study of Jerome’s saints’ Lives . It widens the on-going debate about mutual influences in Jewish and Christian literature in the fourth century, and revises our picture of the historical geography of Palestine.
