Publisher's Synopsis
This translation and commentary makes Jerome's "Chronicle" available in English, and its selective notes aim to clarify Jerome's often terse references to persons, events and places in the 4th century A.D. The extensive bibliography, of both ancient and modern works, provides guidance for Jerome's own sources. It also serves to introduce the reader to many modern works that cover the early chronicle tradition as well as the historical period addressed by Jerome's work, because Jerome's "Chronicle" is concerned largely with imperial Roman history as well as ecclesiastical history.
