Abstract
ABSTRACT The fallout between Jerome (Bethlehem) and Rufinus and Melania the Elder (Mount of Olives) is well-documented. Previously unnoticed, however, are the unusual geographical and exegetical distortions that occur in Jerome's treatment of the Mount of Olives material in his encomium of Paula ( Epistula 108), written in 404. This paper exposes Jerome's singular treatment of the Mount of Olives by interrogating the text's respective images of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and the Mount of Olives. While a definitive link cannot be established, the paper questions the possible influence which the estranged relationship between Jerome and his former colleagues on the Mount of Olives may have had upon the relevant sections of Jerome's encomium of Paula.
