Dal passato guardare al presente: osservazioni sugli addita augustei di Girolamo nel Chronicon

Among Jerome's additions to the Eusebian ChCan, three entries are post- Caesarian prodigia partly or all known from other sources. Their analysis at several levels suggests a high rate of interaction and interlocution of Jerome’s writing with the sources and the political, religious and cultural setting of Constantinople in 380/381 CE. What emerges as a typical feature of Jerome’s treatment of the prodigia is a contemporary Christian dimension perhaps solicited also by Origen’s exegetical methodology of the scriptural texts.
