Petrus Paulus Vergerius the Elder (1370-1444) is much better known for his works De ingenuis moribus et liberalibus studiis adulescentiae (On the Noble Customs and Liberal Studies of Adolescents) and Vita Petrarcae (The Life of Petrarch) than for his Ten Sermons for Saint Jerome. Nevertheless, Vergerius is among the first Renaissance writers to have said that the Scriptures could not be read with such pleasure if Jerome had not been so well acquainted with Cicero and other pagan writers.
Marko Marulić (1450-1524) was very familiar with St. Jerome’s works and wrote a short Vita diui Hieronymi presbyteri (unpublished until 1994) and also the short polemical tract In eos qui beatum Hieronymum Italum fuisse contendunt (Against Those Who Believe that Saint Jerome was an Italian) but in this essay the focus is on Marulić’s work De instutitione, in which Marulić very often adduces examples from St. Jerome’s life and works.
Vergerius addressed mainly priests and monks, but Marulić priests, monks and nuns as well as laymen. Both Vergerius and Marulić made references mainly to St. Jerome’s humility, sacrifices and asceticism but also his knowledge and wisdom.
Both Vergerius and Marulić mentioned the famous dream of St. Jerome, as well as the tamed lion, obedient to Jerome and his monks. As far as Jerome’s "miracula post obitum" are concerned, both Vergerius and Marulić mentioned Jerome’s posthumous appearance to St. Augustine.
Vergerius’ and Marulić’s attitudes to Saint Jerome also show many differences which result from the differing natures of the two works: Vergerius wrote ten panegyrical sermons for St Jerome’s feast day (the 30th of September) while Marulić wrote his De institutione as less specifically targeted texts for reading and meditation, with examples taken from the lives of numbers of saints on whom the religious should model their own lives.
