SectionJeromePublic domain

A short note in which Jerome praises Augustine for the determined stand which he has made against heresy and speaks of him as “the restorer of the ancient faith.” The allusion seems to be to his action in the Pelagian controversy. If so, the date is probably 418 a.d. This letter is among those of Augustine, number 195.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 6 (Schaff and Wace, 1893), public domain (Public domain).
