Jerome
Saint Jerome, also known as Jerome of Stridon, was a Latin priest and scholar. He is the patron saint of librarians and encyclopedia writers,[1] and also worked as a translator of the Bible in the 5th century.[2]
Legacy
In the 1400s Venice, a church was founded and dedicated to Saint Jerome, though later it was rededicated to the visit of Elizabeth by Mary the mother of Jesus, and so became known as Santa Maria della Visitazione.[1]
During the Golden Age of Piracy, the Welsh pirate Edward Kenway acquired a painting of Saint Jerome as a cardinal, an unusual rendering of him as a scholar rather than an ascetic.[2]
