Jérôme and Women - Do We Know Who Translated the Bible?
Lectures
Event Description
History has left us a portrait of Jérôme that is both precise and fragmentary. Precise because some of his writings—especially letters and prefaces to his translations and exegetical texts—are extremely revealing of his character, especially his relations with public and religious authorities. Fragmentary, however, because of the almost total absence (in the accessible archives) of letters he received from a group of women with whom he had a long correspondence.
This conference will focus on the epistolary exchanges between Jérôme and these women on the theme of translation and, more specifically, on his comments concerning their contribution to his work.
