Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, Saint Jerome of Stridonium (Stridon ca 347 � Bethlehem, 420) is known for his translation of the Bible into Latin, using a Hebrew text instead of the Septuagint, which has come to be called the Vulgate. His letters cover a great variety of subjects, are very well written and present a vivid, characteristic picture of his time. Petrus Canisius or Peter Kanis (Nijmegen in the Netherlands, 1521 � Freiburg, 1597) was the first Dutch Jesuit and the great inspirator of the Catholic Counter-Reformation in Germany and Austria. His most famous work is the German Catechism, meant as an answer to Luther and reprinted more than 200 times during his lifetime. His edition of Hieronymus� letters was published the first time in 1562 by Sebald Mayer of Dillingen (VD 16 H 3555). This 1744-edition has Canisius�Praefatio from the 1565-edition published by Mayer (VD 16 H 3556); it is dated 1565 and written at Augsburg, where Canisius was at that time the main � and very successful - pulpit spokesman at the Cathedral. The 3 books of this collection contain 58, 22 and 13 letters. With an extensive index (Rerum and Sententiarum) of 56 pages. The Approbatio and the Privil�ge du Roy both from 1737. Only in Germany 3 copies of this edition (Regensburg, Passau, Hildesheim), but not in NCC, BM, BNF nor LOC. Title�page with handwritten ex-libris of a Father Girardot, 1747 and library stamps of 2 Jesuit seminaries. Title-page and flyleaves stained, but otherwise a very good, well-bound copy.
