This dissertation, a translation and commentary on Jerome's continuation of Eusebius' Chronicon, makes this work available in English for the first time (in Chapter 2). The Introduction (Chapter 1) and Commentary (Chapter 3) will provide the student of the fourth century A.D. with references to the chief primary sources and secondary literature for the following: the nature of the Chronicon and Jerome's authorship, Jerome's interests and his sources, and finally, the persons and events listed in the Chronicon's notices. / Jerome's Chronicon is important in several ways. It is the earliest preserved Christian history in Latin; it is an aid for the establishment of the chronology of the fourth century A.D.; it provides some data found in no other extant sources; and finally, it is one of the means by which the Chronicon of Eusebius has been preserved. / The bibliography is divided into "Ancient Works" and "Modern Works." Appendix A reproduces R. Helm's text for the "continuation" portion of Jerome's work. Appendix B lists the subjects treated in the work with the pertinent notices and their precise topics; this appendix should thus enable the student to refer quickly and easily to all of the material relevant to a given subject. Appendix C points to suggested uses of his sources by Jerome and also lists his apparent original contributions. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 52-04, Section: A, page: 1305. / Major Professor: David Levenson. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1991.
