Letters of St Jerome · Saint Jerome

Letter CXVI. From Augustine.

JerEp 116.1.1

A long letter in which Augustine for the third time (see Letters LVI., LXVII.) restates his opinion about Jerome’s theory of the dispute between Peter and Paul at Antioch. In doing so, however, he disclaims all desire to hurt Jerome’s feelings, apologizes for the tone of his previous letters, and again explains that it is not his fault that they have failed so long to reach Jerome.

JerEp 116.1.2

Written shortly after the preceding.

JerEp 116.1.3
