Jerome whose real name in Latin was Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus , and in Greek: Ευσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ιερώνυμος). A Christian apologist, he is presumed by some to have been an Illyrian, but this may just be conjecture. He is best known for translating the Vulgate, a widely popular Latin edition of the Bible. He is recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as a canonised Saint and Doctor of the Church, and his version of the Bible is still an important text in Catholicism. He is also recognized as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, where he is known as St. Jerome of Stridonium or Blessed Jerome.
