Vita Malchi[edit]

"...it contains a reference to an expression of Jerome's in the opening chapter of his Vita Malchi" Is this reference in its prologue? --Wetman 18:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't read Latin (since 8th grade) but the quote would be a propos here. Vita Malchi.--Stbalbach 18:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Vita Malchi says in the introduction "Scribere enim disposui...ab adventu salvatoris usque ad nostram aetatem, id est, ab apostolis, usque ad nostri temporis faecem..." ("I decided to write [a history, mentioned earlier] from the coming of the savior up to our age, that is, from the apostles, up to the dregs of our time"). I don't know what the Martyrologium quotes exactly (is it online anywhere?), but from the description in the article that seems to be it. Adam Bishop 17:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Martyrologium sancti Hieronomi[edit]

why does this title cast further doubts about Jerome's authorship? what does it mean? this article translates Martyrologium Hieronymianum as "martyrology of Jerome," so what does this title translate to? i tried a couple online translators, but they returned nothing.Colbey84 (talk) 01:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I question the assertion that the Echternach manuscript is the 'only' surviving copy. Two other codices date from about the same time: the Reichenau ms, Zurich, Zentralbibliothek, Ms. Rh. Hist. 28; and the Bern ms, Bern, Burgerbibliothek 289. And there is a fragment from Lorsch, Rome, Vat. Palat. 238. Echternach is the earliest, to be sure, but not the only early source.
