Born in Dalmatia of a Christian, Jerome (345-420) was baptized in Rome. Jerome made a vow of celibacy and withdrew for four years to a hermitage in the Syrian desert before the Holy Father summoned him to Rome and entrusted him with the enormous task of revising the Latin Bible. This work, which took 30 years to complete, is the Vulgate version of the Scriptures.
