The scholar who gave the world the Bible in Latin. St. Jerome — a 4th-century Doctor of the Church who spent decades in a cave in Bethlehem translating the entire Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, producing the Vulgate that remained the standard Bible of the Catholic Church for over a thousand years — is patron saint of translators, librarians, and students. Brilliant, fiery, and utterly devoted to Scripture, he is one of the greatest biblical scholars in the history of Christianity. He is honored in this beautifully detailed round sterling silver medal, handcrafted from solid .925 sterling silver by skilled American artisans. The medal depicts St. Jerome writing with a quill pen, the defining image of his life’s work as a translator and scholar of Sacred Scripture.

Saint Jerome

Saint Jerome became a monk and lived as a hermit in the desert. His biggest accomplishment was the revision of the Bible into Latin. He was a strong advocate of celibacy and even considered loving a woman as adultery. St Jerome is the Patron Saint for Archeologists, Librarians and Translators. Saint Jerome memorial feast day is September 30th.
