He used this knowledge in his own literary work, which was, however, dedicated to Christianity. In his dreams, he was haunted by the reproach that he was not an adherent of Christ (as he should be, being a monk) but of Cicero. Nevertheless, through years of studies the Latin authors had become such an integral part of him that he was no longer able to put them out of his mind completely. His letters, like his other works, are filled with quotations from and illusions to these so-called pagan authors. A study of these reminscences reveals an entire anthology of Latin literature based on Saint Jerome's preferencesSveti Hieronim, eden izmed štirih cerkvenih očetov, je bil zaradi šolanja pri Donatu zelo dobro podkovan v latinski književnosti. Znanje je s pridom uporabljal pri lastnem literarnem snovanju, ki pa je bilo posvečeno krščanstvu. V sanjah ga je preganjal očitek, da ni Kristusov (kar bi kot menih moral biti), temveč Ciceronov. Latinski avtorji so mu bili namreč tako prirasli k srcu, zaradi intenzivnega ukvarjanja z njimi postali že kar del njega, da se jim ni mogel več odpovedati. Kakor vsa njegova dela so tudi pisma prepredena s citati in aluzijami na te t.i. poganske avtorje. Pri preučevanju teh reminiscenc se pred nami pojavi celotna paleta latinske literature v Hieronimovi prioritetni lestviciTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
