All Jerome’s Writings Jerome’s letters only Jerome’s translations of Scripture only Jerome’s writings excluding letters and translations of Scripture

The following is a complete listing of the works of Jerome in approximate chronological order. Each letter in the traditional corpus of Jerome’s correspondence has been listed separately with the number used in the Hilberg edition (CSEL 54-55), including the letters written to Jerome.

The incipit (opening words), addressee, and date of completion are provided where possible for each work. An asterisk (*) in front of the title denotes that the authorship of Jerome has been questioned. J.N.D. Kelly’s biography of Jerome has been the default for the dates provided (c = circa/about). In order to view more information about each letter or work (such as the scholarly source for the date, earliest surviving manuscript containing the work, identification numbers from Clavis Patrum Latinorum, alternate suggested dates, etc) simply click the title/letter number. Notice that some dates are known, and some are only approximately known. Letters 1-150 are either translated or summarized by Fremantle, whose work is available online, and whose date has been used if no date is given in Kelly. Other translations are noted in the individual letter pages.
