EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases scenes from the life of St Jerome, as depicted in the 9th-century Bible of Charles the Bald. The top panel portrays a significant moment when Jerome, a revered figure in Christianity, leaves Rome for Jerusalem to study Hebrew. In the center panel, he engages in an enlightening discussion with St Paul and Eustogine while being accompanied by St Luke and two scribes. The bottom panel captures another pivotal event where Jerome distributes copies of his Latin translation of the Bible, known as the Vulgate, to monks who will carry them to their respective monasteries. The artwork not only highlights important episodes from St Jerome's life but also sheds light on the historical context surrounding this period. Charles the Bald, who reigned over Western Franks and later became Holy Roman Emperor during 843-877 AD, commissioned this exquisite illuminated manuscript. The image beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors that characterize medieval artistry. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship prevalent during this time. This remarkable piece provides viewers with a glimpse into early Christian history while showcasing notable figures such as St Jerome himself alongside influential saints like Paul and Luke. Its significance lies not only in its religious subject matter but also in its portrayal of cultural exchange between Rome and Jerusalem through translation work undertaken by dedicated individuals like St Jerome.
