SectionJeromePublic domain

This is an interesting letter addressed to a lady of rank, on the principles and methods of a holy life. It is not, however, the work of Jerome, of whose style it shews few traces. It has been ascribed in turn to Paulinus of Nola and Sulpicius Severus.

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