Abstract
In 2017 a special volume containing the critical edition of the prologues of saint Jerome to the biblical books has been published in the Sources Chrétiennes series (No. 592). Based on this edition and on older studies this paper presents a list of the prologues written by st. Jerome and a list of the addressees of the translation into Latin of the individual biblical books. Furthermore the article raises a question of the content of the prologues and their links to the ancient, pagan literature. Consequently the paper highlights the texts composed by Jerome directly as prologues, permits to know the milieu of his spiritual friends and also to get inside the efforts of the oeuvre of translation undertaken by Jerome.
