Description: The relationship between Christianity and Classical literature in Late Antiquity constitutes a well-defined field of study. Jerome’s letters have traditionally been cherished by scholars for their content, as well for their references to the classical authors. This study focuses on the use of allusions in an interesting passage from Jerome’s Epistle 45, written in 385. Our analysis will demonstrate that Cicero’s influence in the writing of this piece of work is profound and full of hidden meanings. If one reads the text focusing on Cicero’s rhetoric, the entire scope of meaning shifts. [Author]
