hatsoff

Hi, all.

I'm looking for a copy of St. Jerome's preface (or prologue/commentary/etc.) to the Epistle to Titus. To my knowledge, this is not available online in any English translation, so I'd like to find the original Latin and then work from there.

Unfortunately, I can't even find the Latin text. However, a local Roman Catholic Priest recommended I try the Patrologia Latina, a near-exhaustive collection of writings by the Latin Fathers. The wikipedia page gives a general overview of the contents, from which I have seen that the writings of Jerome span vols. 22-30. Unfortunately, only vols. 83 and 108 are available online (as far as I know, anyway). Does anyone have access to the volumes in question, that they can help me out? Or, at the very least, is there some more detailed index whereby I can narrow my search to a single volume?

Thanks in advance!

Well, you do need to decide what work you're looking for.

The biblical prefaces have all been translated:

But there isn't one for Titus. Possibly you're thinking of a *Commentary*.

Try this:

From it I find the following link to the Latin text of a "Commentary on the Epistle of the blessed Paul to Titus, one book:

All the best,

Yes, I think the confusion here has always been due to incomplete terminology. The passage that hatsoff (I think it was he) was looking for a while ago that I had only in part on one of my weblogs is from the preface to the commentary on Titus, not from the preface to the actual epistle to Titus.

Thanks for the PDF link, Roger. That, I think, is the very work hatsoff had in mind before.

Ben.

I was fairly sure that someone had recently done something with that; I remembered the bit about Basilides.
