GAJKOWSKI JAN (ed.) List świętego Hieronima do Eustochium o zachowaniu dziewictwa [WARSAW 1903].

[LETTER...] translated from Latin into Polish by alumni of the theological courses of the Sandomierz Seminary. Reviewed, revised and published by Rev. JAN GAJKOWSKI, Professor of Patrology and Ecclesiastical Pronunciation, WARSAW, printing of the Sons of St. Niemiry 1903, p. 71, dimensions 13 x 19.5, booklet binding. Cover soiled, slight loss on spine, rusty soiling of page edges.

St. HIERONIM wrote Letter 22 (On the Preservation of Virginity - De virginitate servanda) in Rome in late 383 or early 384 and addressed it to EUSTOCHIUM, daughter of St. Paula, a Roman aristocrat. The writing is a treatise on Christian virginity preserved for the sake of Christ and the Kingdom of Heaven. At the same time, it is a presentation and apologia of Christian monastic life. It was written at a time when there was no shortage of opponents of this kind of life consecrated to God.
