ÜBER DEN HEILIGEN HIERONYMUS
DE DIVO HIERONYMO
Beschreibung
This is the older version of a poem that Bonomo wrote in the years 1490-93. The more recent version is contained in the Codex Fuchsmagen as C. 156. The only difference is in the title and at v. 5 (see apparatus). The poem accompanies a sacred image of Saint Jerome, who is believed to have secured a place in heaven through self-mortification. Saint Jerome was usually portrayed either in the role of both a penitent hermit, sitting in a wild desert, or as a humanist, intent on reading.

the term denotes Northern Africa, which is historically incorrect. Seized with a desire for a life of ascetic penance, Saint Jerome is said to have lived as a solitary hermit in the desert Chalcis in Northern Syria between 375 and 379.

| 3 | Saepius et duro lacerat dum pectora saxo, | so floss, während er oftmals seine Brust mit einem harten Stein | lacerat dum pectora saxo
The saint is said to have mortified himself by means of fasting, self-harm and prayer. The depiction of the saint beating his chest with a stone became a popular iconographic motif.

| 5 | Hoc parat aetherias sanctus sibi verbere sedes: | Mit solchen Schlägen erwirbt sich ein Heiliger seinen Sitz im Himmel: | |
| 6 | Sidera deliciis, credite, nullus adit. | Niemand, glaubt mir, gelangt durch Vergnügungen zu den Sternen. | |
| Τέλος | Ende. |
