Saint Jerome was born in 347 AD at Strido, Dalmatia, which is a small town at the head of the Adriatic. ... Saint Jerome had a dream one night where he heard the Lord ask him what he saw himself as. Jerome replied by saying that he was a Christian. ... Saint Jerome then decided upon becoming a monk, and like many people of his day he spent many years out in the Syrian deserts living as a hermit. ... Saint Jerome was a student of Saint Gregory of Nazianzen, and was secretary to Pope Damasus who asked Jerome to come back to Rome and work for him; however, when Jerome was in Rome he acquired many enemies because of his outspokenness towards his dislike of the luxurious style of living in Rome. Damascus decided that Jerome’s incredible talent with language could be used to greatly benefit the Church. Pope Damasus asked Jerome to make a new Latin translation of the Bible, from the original Hebrew version, because the Greek translation was the common translation of the time, however Latin was the language of the people in the West(there were other Latin translations at the time when Jerome wrote his, but they were of poor quality and were not used).
