St. Jerome Reading

Painting by Giovanni Battista Cima da Conegliano (Uffizi Gallery, Florence):


Painting by Giovanni Bellini (Uffizi Gallery, Florence):


St. Jerome, letter 22.17 (to Eustochium; tr. F.A. Wright):
Read often and learn all you can.

Crebrius lege et disce quam plurima.
Id., letter 125.11 (to Rusticus):
Always have a book in your hand and before your eyes.

Numquam de manu et oculis tuis recedat liber.
