Letter 78: To Fabiola (c. 399 AD)
[A treatise on the forty-two 'stations' or halting-places of the Israelites during the Exodus, originally intended for Fabiola but not completed until after her death. Jerome sent it to Oceanus along with a covering letter. Each station is treated as an emblem of the Christian's pilgrimage through life — the 'true Hebrew' (i.e., the authentic Christian, in Jerome's allegorical reading) hurrying to pass from earth to heaven.]
