Letter of Jerome to Pope Damasus

The Epistle of Jerome to Pope Damasus I, written in 376 or 377 AD, is a response of Jerome to Pope Damasus I's letter urging him to make a new Latin translation of the four gospels, to replace the Vetus Latina translation. The letter predates the 382–405 period when Jerome worked on his translation, the Vulgate. In the epistle, Jerome agreed that the Vetus Latina translation of the four gospels should be revised and corrected, acknowledging the numerous differences between every Latin manuscript
