| Summary: | Jerome's homiletic production, from Germain Morin's research onwards, has been traditionally dated around the first decade of the fifth century, namely before the eruption of the Pelagian controversy. However, some scholars, such as Salvatore Cola, Giuseppe Caruso and Alessandro Capone, have questioned the traditional dating of Jerome's homilies, proposing the hypothesis that some of his homilies were preached during the Pelagian controversy. In the present article, we further develop the hypothesis of Giuseppe Caruso, who believes that the Tractatus in psalmum 89 (series altera) would have been preached during the Pelagian controversy, due to the presence of an explicit reference to the Augustinian doctrine of original sin. This hypothesis is further corroborated through the analysis of the entire homiletic corpus of Jerome and through appropriate comparisons with the works of Augustine known to Jerome. Furthermore, we propose the hypothesis that also the following homily, the Tractatus in psalmum 90 (series altera), was composed during the Pelagian controversy. In conclusion, the present research invites to reassess, at least partially, the traditional dating of Jerome's tractatus to the first decade of the fifth century, as proposed by Germain Morin, and to consider also the Pelagian controversy as the possible theological context during which Jerome preached some of his homilies. |
