Begun three years after the foregoing (Preface). Finished between a.d. 395 and a.d. 397.\nZechariah, Malachi, Hosea, Joel, Amos. Finished by a.d. 406.\nJeremiah. Commenced after the death of Eustochium in a.d. 418. The commentary on this book, which stops short at chapter xxxii., was therefore written in a.d. 419, the year which intervened between Eustochium\u2019s death and Jerome\u2019s own.\nWe have thought it best to give the Prefaces, as in those to the Vulgate, in the order of the books as they stand in our Bible, not in the order in which they were written.","title":"Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser.
