The Reception of St. Jerome in Late Medieval Sermon Collection

Right after the Bible, the Church fathers were the most quoted authorities when it comes to medieval sermons. Quotations from their work were used in different ways: as an exegesis of the reading, as an commentary of moral lesson, as a strong argument of particular statement etc. St Jerome is one of the significant medieval authority whose passages and quotations are widespread in numerous sermon books. This paper will examine reception of St Jerome in the 15th century sermon collection known as Sermones Discipuli de tempore et de sanctis cum Promptuario exemplorum et de miraculis Beatae Mariae Virginis that was written by German Dominican Johannes Herolt (†1468). In this very popular collection there are quotations from different work of St Jerome, but mostly from his epistles. The aim of the examination of his reception is to make a contribution to research a relationship towards Jerome's texts in those kind of medieval sermon books that were primary composed to be used by lower clergy and less educated audience. The final goal is to determine different occasions in which his quotations were mostly used.
