Jerome and VictorinusŠpelič, Miran (Avtor) millennialismLatin exegesisThe paper is based on an analysis of the adjective noster as an attribute to the proper name; its use by Jerome in a short note found in De viris illustribus serves to broaden the otherwise scarce information on his compatriot Victorinus. In Jerome’s other references to Victorinus, too, a friendly bias can be noticed, as Jerome, otherwise highly critical and anti-heterodox turns a blind eye to Victorinus’ millennialism. Jerome criticises Victorinus only for his stylistic shortcomings and linguistic imperfection and tones this down further by praising Victorinus’ command of Greek. Jerome’s judgments also say something about Jerome himself: although he broke away from his homeland early and became a true cosmopolitan, he nevertheless retained a special connection to his native land and its inhabitants. 20212024-10-14 10:17:42Članek v reviji163910sl
