But this dual identity is not without its contradictions. While monasticism emphasizes the virtues of poverty, chastity, and humility, the scholar, by contrast, requires expensive infrastructure-a library, a workplace, and the means of disseminating his work. In The Monk and the Book, Megan Hale Williams argues that Saint Jerome was the first to represent biblical study as a mode of asceticism appropriate for an inhabitant of a Christian monastery, thus pioneering the enduring linkage of monastic identities and institutions with scholarship. Revisiting Jerome with the analytical tools of recent cultural history-including the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, and Roger Chartier-Williams proposes new interpretations that remove obstacles to understanding the life and legacy of the saint. Examining issues such as the construction of Jerome's literary persona, the form and contents of his library, and the intellectual framework of his commentaries, Williams shows that Jerome's textual and exegetical work on the Hebrew scriptures helped to construct a new culture of learning. This fusion of the identities of scholar and monk, Williams shows, continues to reverberate in the culture of the modern university. "[Williams] has written a fascinating study, which provides a series of striking insights into the career of one of the most colorful and influential figures in Christian antiquity. Jerome's Latin Bible would become the foundational text for the intellectual development of the West, providing words for the deepest aspirations and most intensely held convictions of an entire civilization. Williams's book does much to illumine the circumstances in which that fundamental text was produced, and reminds us that great ideas, like great people, have particular origins, and their own complex settings."-Eamon Duffy, New York Review of Books 606 $aRELIGION / General$2bisacsh 610 $achristian, christianity, faith, belief, religion, religious studies, history, historical, academic, scholarly, research, jerome, sect, monastic, west, western, middle ages, classics, poverty, chastity, morals, values, humility, monastics, asceticism, scholarship, university, education, culture, cultural, bourdieu, foucault, chartier, saint. 615 7$aRELIGION / General. 676 $a270.2092 700 $aWilliams$b Megan Hale$f1969-$0443500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782452803321 996 $aThe monk and the book$93757088 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01436nam a22003011i 4500 001 991001438069707536 005 20250702121733.0 008 040407s1968 it er 001|0 ita 035 $ab12770292-39ule_inst 035 $aARCHE-074992$9ExL 040 $aDip.to Scienze Storiche$bita$cA.t.i.
