To
Paulinus - Paulinus had sent Jerome a copy of his book in
defence of the Emperor Theodosius and a letter asking for advice on the
ascetic life. Paulinus' messenger was
Vigilantius,
later a notable heretic.
- 61 - To
Vigilantius - Vigilantius had accused Jerome of Origenism.
Jerome, in turn, attacks Vigilantius' claim that the
stone unhewn by hand
refers to Satan.
- 109 - To
Riparius - Promising to write a book against Vigilantius,
and defending the veneration of relics.
- 117 - To a
Mother and Daughter Living in Gaul - Both widowed mother
and single daughter are trying to live as nuns, but through some
disagreement live apart. Moreover, both have invited male monastics to
live with them as "chaste protectors". Jerome addresses some of the
problems of
"double monasticism" and
"monasticism
in the world", and of
family relations.
He also paints an extremely vivid portrait of an upper-class Roman
dinner-party -- not particularly decadent, but still an inappropriate
place for nuns.
-
146 - To Evangelus (copy) - About
deacons, that they are not as high-ranking as priests. Seems almost to
equate bishops and priests.
