Revered or not, there is a comical story (and medieval illumination) of the
time Jerome put on women's clothing. It seems the great biblical translator
had the habit of waking with such a start and putting on clothing without
paying attention to what he was doing. Some of his colleagues took the
opportunity to lay out women's clothing in place of Jerome' own.
