[edit] His greek name was absent
His greek name was abcent is his original form. Eυσέβιος is equivalent with the latin Pius, Σωφρόνιος means "sensibile" (sensible in English) , as Ιερόνυμος derives from greek ιερό (divinus in latin)therefore the one that has "divine name".
[edit] Distracting blank spaces
Formatting that encases the framed table of contents in text, in just the way a framed map or image is enclosed within the text, is now available: {{TOCleft}} in the HTML does the job.
Blank space opposite the ToC, besides being unsightly and distracting, suggests that there is a major break in the continuity of the text, which may not be the case. Blanks in page layout are voids and they have meanings to the experienced reader. The space betweeen paragraphs marks a brief pause between separate blocks of thought. A deeper space, in a well-printed text, signifies a more complete shift in thought: note the spaces that separate sub-headings in Wikipedia articles.
A handful of thoughtless and aggressive Wikipedians revert the "TOCleft" format at will. A particularly aggressive de-formatter is User:Ed g2s

[edit] Removed versions of name: Jerome
Please note: Trier (p. 1) is located in the Rhone, not the Rhine.
I've removed a paragraph recouncting the versions for the name Jerome in various European languages. It was not to the point and, anyway, wasn't all that remarkable.

[edit] Unreasoning obedience
"Unreasoning obedience" is a phrase used of the Jesuits in para.4 of the Theological Position section. Can it be justified from a NPOV?--shtove 10:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Links
Some of the links don't work very well like Paula. I think that we should clean up the links. Tom 04:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Victor of Tannuna?
Article says: "Jerome produced a valuable work, if only for the impulse which it gave to such later chroniclers as Prosper, Cassiodorus, and Victor of Tannuna to continue his annals.". All Google hits of "Victor of Tannuna" points to the Wikipedia or it's mirrors, so it would be nice to have some references to prove this person really existed. --ML 15:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- Propably should be "Victor of Tunnuna". --ML 15:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jerome and the lion
St. Jerome is commonly depicted with a lion, sometimes pulling a thorn from its paw (see Androclus). I'm not sure what the legend or symbolism behind this is, though.
- For an account, from a 10th-11th century Vita of Jerome, click here. Hagiographies are full of this kind of stuff, usually edited out for increased believability nowadays. Compare also Androcles. --Wetman 10:19, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jerome on the Web
Can we add some links to Jerome's writings and other sites on Jerome?Christian Askeland 16:39, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] uote
I removed the following recently added purported quote, as I could not verify it.
- The Only good that comes from marriage is that it produces virgins.

[edit] Quote
I removed the following recently added purported quote from St. Jerome, as I could not verify it.
- The Only good that comes from marriage is that it produces virgins.
AxelBoldt 03:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Bad paraphrase. The intended quote is actually "I praise marriage, but it is because they give me virgins." Jerome's Letter XXII to Eustochium, section 20 (on-line) Perhaps it could go back, corrected and sourced... --Wetman 14:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jérôme or Jerome
I think that his real name is "Jérôme", and not Jerome. This french version of the name seems to be the historic one. 82.234.10.207 07:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ghostbusters
In the beginning of the first Ghostbusters movie, when asked if there has been any history of mental illness in her family, the librarian said that she had an uncle who thought he was Saint Jerome. As Jerome is the patron saint of librarians, this is almost certainly intentional.
[edit] dates
347 – 0420-09-30; looks terribly ugly and hard to read. Can't we remove the 0 before the 420? Kdammers 08:33, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Strido verses Stridon
In Jerome's De Viris Illustribus Jerome states he was born in "Strido" nor Stridon. The city of Stridon was just assumed by some editor (years back) to be the same thing, which it is not. There is no actual reference showing Jerome was born in Stridon, therefore I have put it back to Strido (as Jerome identifies himself). --Doug talk 11:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
