Jerome the Presbyter

I, Jerome, son of Eusebius, from the town of Stridon, which lies on the border of Dalmatia and Pannonia and was overthrown by the Goths, have written the following up to the present year, that is, the fourteenth year of the emperor Theodosius: [a]

The Life of Paul the Monk; one book of Letters to various people; An Exhortation to Heliodorus; The Debate of Luciferianus and Orthodoxus; a Chronicle of universal history; twenty-eight homilies of Origen on Jeremiah and Ezekiel, which I translated from Greek into Latin; On the Seraphim; On Hosanna; On the Prudent Son and the Prodigal Son; On Three Questions of the Ancient Law; two Homilies on the Song of Songs; Against Helvidius, On the Perpetual Virginity of Mary; To Eustochium, On Keeping Virginity; one book of Letters to Marcella; a letter of comfort to Paula, On the Death of a Daughter; three books of Commentaries on Paul’s Letter to the Galatians; likewise three books of Commentaries on the Letter to the Ephesians; one book On the Letter to Titus; one On the Letter to Philemon; Commentaries on Ecclesiastes; one book of Hebrew Questions on Genesis; one book On Places in Judea; one book of Hebrew Names; Didymus On the Holy Spirit, which I translated into Latin, one book; thirty-nine homilies on Luke; On Psalms 10 to 16, seven books; The Captive Monk; and The Life of the Blessed Hilarion.

I translated the New Testament from the Greek, and the Old Testament from the Hebrew. How many Letters I have written To Paula and Eustochium I do not know, for I write every day. Moreover, I wrote two books of Explanations on Micah, one book On Nahum, two books On Habakkuk, one On Zephaniah, one On Haggai, and many others On the Prophets, which are not yet finished and on which I am still at work.
