Commentary on the Vita Pauli Op St. Jerome Dissertation COMMENTARY ON THE VITA PAULI OP ST. JEROME DISSERTATION Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Reverend Philip Charles Hoelle, S.M,, G •A« f S •| 3 •T •L •9 A• The Ohio State University 1953 ...... Approved bys Advlser 1 Preface The yi*La Pauli » an interesting and edifying story of St. Paul the First Hermit, is an original writing of St. Jerome. It is based to some extent on fact but built in good part upon legend and tales that the author gathered from among the desert fathers. St. Jerome insists upon the historical character of his hero and nominates him as the first hermit, though he admits that St. Anthony, popularized by St. Athanasius1 Vita Antonil and Evagrius1 Latin version of it, was commonly venerated as the founder of monasticism. St. Jerome wrote the Vita Pauli, his first literary work, excluding the earliest letters, In 376, at the age of 29, when he was beginning in earnest his ascetlcal life as a hermit in the Syrian desert of Chalcis. Doubts as to the existence of St. Paul arose In St. Jerome’s own lifetime. This early scepticism was reechoed by the Magdeburg Centuriators and Erasmus, and Weingarten in the late 19th Century, in harmony with his theory of a fourth century origin for Christian.monasticism, called the Vita Pauli a purely rhetorical exercise. Preuschen, Dorn Butler and de Labriolle refuted promptly and successfully Weingarten* s charges so that today the common view of scholars holds that the Vita Pauli deals with a real person in a framework of legend. A 1.6495 11 Th® Vita Pauli and Its later companions the Vita M«lchl and the Vita Hllarlonls gave a new character to hagiographical literature; instead of the Acts of the martyrs of the early Church, the accounts of the saintly heroes become largely legendary and Imaginative. Of the five Greek versions which figure in our study (a,b,F,M,N) version a is the most important, for it was made in the lifetime of St. Jerome and is thus about 125 years older than Latin ms. 106, after which it ranks second in value in reconstructing the original text. Version b, later and simpler than a, is the source of the Syriac, Coptic and Arabic versions. Among the Latin manuscripts Family K represents the tradition closest to the archetype; the oldest and best ms. of thi3 family is ms, 106, dated 517 A.D. From a study of ms. 106 we may assume that the archetype of K was written in uncials averaging 24 letters to the line. My purpose in this commentary is to examine the voca­ bulary and style of the Vita Pauli, paying special attention to the sources that St. Jerome used and probing the signifi­ cant words and phrases to see whether they derive from Karly, Classical, Silver, Late, Christian, technical or popular Latin. This study shows & direct use of nearly all the better authors both pagan and Christian and proves the wide and sound reading knowledge of the young author in his maiden literary lii work: Plautus, Terence, Cicero, Caesar, Sallust, Vergil, Horace, Ovid, Livy, the two Senecas, the two Pllnies, Pe- tronlus, Quintilian, Tacitus, Apuleius, Tertullian, St, Cyprian, and Holy Scripture from Oenesis to the Apocalypse, ’.Vhile most of the interest is in vocabulary, syntax and style, every effort has been made to discuss the historical, biographical, geographical, ascetlcal and mythological data needed to understand the text. In my investigation of the vocabulary I have made use of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae wherever possible. Otherwise I have relied upon the dictionaries of Forcellini and Georges and the various monographs treating of special phases of Late Latin vocabulary. Throughout the commentary generous use has been made of Goelzer, Leumann-Hofmann, lofstedt and Waszink, Goelzer's study of St. Jerome's Latinity was especially valuable. In citing the Latin authors I have followed the system em­ ployed by the Index Llbrorum Scriptorum Inscrlptlonum to the The a aurus Linguae Latinae. In general authors are cited in chronological order but when there is evidence of direct borrow ing the author borrowed from appears first to give him due recognition. I wish to express my gratitude to Professor Kenneth M. Abbott for suggesting this study and for guiding it along with timely and appreciated advice and forreading this manuscript. r*£. (J iv I also wish to thank Professors Clarence A. Forbes and W. Robert Jones for a careful reading of this manuscript and to Misses Joan Pavlic and Thelma Leffue for the generous typing of the final draft of this commentary, I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to Eileen Shell Schroeder, M.A,, for the use of the Index Verbortun in Hleronymi Vitam Pauli, and to C. Robert Holsinger, Ph.D, and Arta Fruth Johnson, Ph.D, for help* found in their special studies of the Vita Pauli, I am deeply Indebted moreover to the Very Reverend John A, Elbert, S#M,, Ph.D. my Provincial Superior, for suggesting that I undertake this graduate work and for making It possible to devote my full time to Its successful completion. Special thanks are duo to the Most Reverend Michael J. Ready, D.D., Bishop of Columbus, for his gracious hospitality and to the devoted Sisters of Hotre Dams de Namur at Maryhurat and to tKe Carmelite Sisters at St, Raphael<s Home for the Aged for providing me with a studious environment during the past two years. To all other* who have in any way helped, me in this task I heartily render thanks.

  • Pope Cornelius
    Pope Cornelius Pope Cornelius (died June 253) was the Bishop of Rome from 6 or 13 March 251 to his martyrdom in 253.[1] 1 Christian persecution Emperor Decius, who ruled from 249 to 251 AD, per- secuted Christians in the Roman Empire rather sporadi- cally and locally, but starting January in the year 250, he ordered all citizens to perform a religious sacrifice in the presence of commissioners, or else face death.[2] Many Christians refused and were martyred (possibly including the pope, St Fabian, on 20 January), while others partook in the sacrifices in order to save their own lives.[3] Two schools of thought arose after the persecution. One side, led by Novatian, who was a priest in the diocese of Rome, believed that those who had stopped practising Christian- ity during the persecution could not be accepted back into the church even if they repented. Under this philosophy, the only way to re-enter the church would be re-baptism. The opposing side, including Cornelius and Cyprian the Bishop of Carthage, did not believe in the need for re- baptism. Instead they thought that the sinners should only need to show contrition and true repentance to be wel- comed back into the church.[4] In hopes that Christian- ity would fade away, Decius prevented the election of a new pope. However, soon afterwards Decius was forced to leave the area to fight the invading Goths and while he was away the elections for pope were held.[3] In the 14 months without a pope, the leading candidate, Moses, had died under the persecution.

  • Rome, Hispania, and North Africa: the Case of the LIBELLATICI Bishops Martialis and Basilides
    Chapter 1 Rome, Hispania, and North Africa: The Case of the LIBELLATICI Bishops Martialis and Basilides One of the earliest cases that we have involving the bishop of Rome and bish- ops in Hispania transpired during the tenure of Cyprian of Carthage, who be- came embroiled in a row on the status of lapsed clergy during the pontificate of Pope Stephen I (254–257). The scene had already been set, so to speak, in the pontificate of Pope Cornelius (251–253), immediate predecessor of Stephen I. There had been a series of councils in Rome and Carthage to deal with the Novatian heresy, which is what set off the intense debate over requiring rebap- tism of heretics as a non-negotiable condition of coming back into commu- nion with the Church. I would like to begin with a brief sketch of Cornelius and Stephen I, their activities and positions during this time of intense persecution by the Emperors Decius and Diocletian. It was a moment when the faith of Christians was quite literally at times being tested by fire and by other heinous Roman methods of torture used against enemies of Emperor and Empire. Cornelius’s election was delayed by the persecution of Decius. A priest named Novatian contested his selection and had himself consecrated as bishop amidst accusations of lapsing from the faith during the persecution. This conflict led to intense debates be- tween those who defended either party, Cornelius or Novatian, over clergy that lapsed during persecution and later wanted to be reintegrated into the Church and resume their ministry.

  • General John Stark, an American Revolutionary War Hero Is Famous
    General John Stark, an American Revolutionary War hero is famous for the phrase “Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.” From it, New Hampshire adopted its state motto: Live Free or Die.i In the third century when Roman Emperors were all powerful and treated like gods, Christians were often persecuted. Emperor Decius decreed that every follower of Jesus should give up their faith or die. Pope Fabian and many others were martyred. They recognized death was not the worst of evils and stayed true to the faith. Others were not as strong in their faith, and they were willing to live without freedom rather than die. Someone who renounces their faith is known as an apostate. Emperor Decius wanted the church to die, so he prevented the church from replacing Pope Fabian. Had he consulted the church he would have had a better idea of how hard this is to do. Bishop Tertullian (~155-~240 AD) is famous for his teaching that “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.”ii As paradoxical as it may seem, the more the church is persecuted, the more its members gain strength from their new champions in heaven. In secret, priests met to keep the church running for better than a year. In the year 251 when the emperor left Rome to engage in battle, Cornelius was elected pope. He had the unenviable position of trying to unify the church at a time when it was deeply divided. iii A priest named Novatian considered himself the pope and many believed as he did that those who denied the faith should not be allowed to reenter the church.
