title = "Studying Jerome in a Carolingian monastery",
abstract = "This article focuses on the traces of use in one of the oldest manuscripts containing Adversus Vigilantium: Karlsruhe, Badische Landesbibliothek Augiensis Perg. 105. Church father Jerome (†419/20) wrote the treatise in the autumn of 406 to counter the attacks of the priest Vigilantius of Calagurris on practices that became increasingly popular in his days: relic veneration, monastic withdrawal and clerical celibacy. His treatise was frequently copied and used in the Christian communities of the medieval Latin West. Why was Adversus Vigilantium so popular? What appeal did a late antique polemic have for a medieval audience? What interests me in particular is whether or not the popularity of Jerome{\textquoteright}s treatise against Vigilantius in the centuries after its composition can perhaps be understood as an indication that Jerome{\textquoteright}s defence of relic veneration remained relevant in later times.",
