Book Synopsis
Often cited as a source of biographical information on ancient Christian authors, On Illustrious Men provides St Jerome's personal evaluations of his forebears and contemporaries, as well as catalogues of patristic writings known to him.

Trade Review
A faithful translation of Jerome's 'Who's Who' of the ancient church, beginning with Simon Peter and concluding with Jerome himself.... Jerome's accounts are fascinating, filled with keen insight into some cases and characteristic spleen in others. The text itself, then, is well worth reading.... It is also extremely useful for the extensive annotations provided by Halton.... [Halton provides] massive bibliographic aid throughout the translation. It is this that will make this handy little book indispensable for anyone interested in early Christian history.""—Heythrop Journal
