I had an interesting note on this subject posted to me, rather than the list: >Dear Phyllis, there is a lot of speculation about where St Jerome was >from. Some argue that he was from Dalmatia - indeed, during the Middle >Ages the Glagolitic priests maintained a legend that it was Jerome, a >native of this land,(Croatia) who had invented the Glagolitic script (not >Cyrril >and particularly not Methodius). >Best, Marija-Ana Durrigl Phyllis >medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > >> >> Jerome (d. 420) One of the four fathers of the Latin church, Jerome was a >> controversial figure and the only Father who never became a bishop. He >was >> a native of Slovenia, .................... > >This is confusing, there were no Slovenes (or Slavs) in modern-day Slovenia >in Jerome's time.
