Book Description
The Slavic Letters of St. Jerome is the first book-length study of the medieval legend that Church Father and biblical translator St. Jerome was a Slav who invented the Slavic (Glagolitic) alphabet and Roman Slavonic rite. Julia Verkholantsev locates the roots of this belief among the Latin clergy in Dalmatia in the 13th century and describes in fascinating detail how Slavic leaders subsequently appropriated it to further their own political agendas. The Slavic language, written in Jerome's alphabet and endorsed by his authority, gained the unique privilege in the Western Church of being the only language other than Latin, Greek, and Hebrew acceptable for use in the liturgy. Such privilege, confirmed repeatedly by the popes, resulted in the creation of narratives about the distinguished historical mission of the Slavs and became a possible means for bridging the divide between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches in the Slavic-speaking lands. In the fourteenth century the legend spread from Dalmatia to Bohemia and Poland, where Glagolitic monasteries were established to honor the Apostle of the Slavs Jerome and the rite and letters he created. The myth of Jerome's apostolate among the Slavs gained many supporters among the learned and spread far and wide, reaching Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and England. Grounded in extensive archival research, Verkholantsev examines the sources and trajectory of the legend of Jerome's Slavic fellowship within a wider context of European historical and theological thought. This unique volume will appeal to medievalists, Slavicists, scholars of religion, those interested in saints' cults, and specialists of philology.

Book Description
Letters of St. Jerome. His letters gain their special charm from being so personal. He himself, his correspondents, and the scenes in which they moved, are made to live before our eyes. See especially his descriptions of Roman life in the Epistles to Eustochium, to Paula on the death of Blesilla, to Læta on the education of her child, and Ageruchia; his account of the lives of Fabiola, of Paula, and of Marcella; his description of the clerical life in his letter to Nepotian, and of the monastic life in his letters to Rusticus and to Sabinian; his letters of spiritual counsel to a mother and daughter, to Julianus, and to Rusticus, and of hermit life in his letter to Eustochium; his satirical description of Onasus, Rufinus, and Vigilantius; his enthusiastic delight in the Holy Land in the letter written by him to Paula and Eustochium inviting Marcella to join them. Other characteristic and celebrated letters are those to Asella on his leaving Rome; to Pammachius on the best method of translation, which shows the liberties taken by translators in his time; to Oceanus in defense of a second marriage contracted by a Spanish Bishop, the first having been before baptism; to Magnus, indicating his use of secular literature, and showing the great range of his knowledge; to Lucinius on the copying of his works; to Avitus on the book of Origen, to Demetrias on the maintenance of virginity; to Ctesiphon on the Pelagian controversy.
