St. Jerome
Saint Jerome, oil on canvas by JosĆ© de Ribera (Jusepe de Ribera, Lo Spagnoletto), c. 1638ā40; in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
While at Aquileia, St. Jerome was part of an ascetic elite group gathered around Bishop Valerianus. The most notable scholar associated with him during this period was Tyrannius Rufinus, a writer and theologian who later became a close friend and, eventually, a target of Jerome's intense theological criticism regarding the works of Origen.12
