Abstract

The article surveys Explanationes in Esaiam of St. Jerome. The circumstances of the genesis of such a work, as well as the analysis carried out on it confirm – as customary to St. Jerome – the great veneration towards the Bible, especially in its original language. His exegetical approach is featured by a detailed and keen linguistic analysis; by a careful interpretation of the text; by a clear and consistent hermeneutics and by a reconstruction of its history. A striking element is represented by a strong resemblance to the exegetical methods carried out nowadays, highlighting the value of the inspired text and maintaining its historical and semantic dimensions. St. Jerome aimed at creating an exegetical as well as theological and cultural patrimony for future Christian exegetes.
