supported by a longer epistola (ff. 11–67), supposedly written by his friend
and executor Eusebius of Cremona, which Erasmus showed (and even Baronio
agreed) that it in fact dates to the early 14th century. The supplementary
epistolae from ps-Saint Augustine and ps-Saint Cyril (on Jerome’s miracles) are
likewise spurious. Some thirty editions, in three languages, were printed
before 1500, beginning around1470. Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke. Leipzig
