"...it contains a reference to an expression of Jerome's in the opening chapter of his Vita Malchi" Is this reference in its prologue? --Wetman 18:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't read Latin (since 8th grade) but the quote would be a propos here. Vita Malchi.--Stbalbach 18:39, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
The Vita Malchi says in the introduction "Scribere enim disposui...ab adventu salvatoris usque ad nostram aetatem, id est, ab apostolis, usque ad nostri temporis faecem..." ("I decided to write [a history, mentioned earlier] from the coming of the savior up to our age, that is, from the apostles, up to the dregs of our time"). I don't know what the Martyrologium quotes exactly (is it online anywhere?), but from the description in the article that seems to be it. Adam Bishop 17:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

why does this title cast further doubts about Jerome's authorship? what does it mean? this article translates Martyrologium Hieronymianum as "martyrology of Jerome," so what does this title translate to? i tried a couple online translators, but they returned nothing.Colbey84 (talk) 01:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I question the assertion that the Echternach manuscript is the 'only' surviving copy. Two other codices date from about the same time: the Reichenau ms, Zurich, Zentralbibliothek, Ms. Rh. Hist. 28; and the Bern ms, Bern, Burgerbibliothek 289. And there is a fragment from Lorsch, Rome, Vat. Palat. 238. Echternach is the earliest, to be sure, but not the only early source.
