Jerome was a prominent early Christian priest known for translating the Bible into Latin, creating the Vulgate, and writing extensive commentaries on the Bible. He focused on translating the Old Testament based on Hebrew rather than the Septuagint. Jerome also authored polemical and historical essays from a theologian’s perspective, with a particular emphasis on Christian moral teachings, especially regarding women. His works are essential for understanding Hebrew pronunciation in Byzantine Palestine.
