The Monk and the Book. Jerome and the Making of Christian Scholarship. By Megan Hale Williams
As the author of this study is well aware, writing an orthodox biography of Jerome is a prospect that ‘the sensible historian will firmly resist’ (p. 263), simply because we do not have appropriate documentation for what might be called an external approach.
