| Document: | Letter 65 |
| Reference: | Stegmuller 3344 |
| Incipit: | Scio me, Principia, in Christo filia |
| Addressee: | Principia |
| Date: | 397 (Kelly p. 212) |

| Latin Text: | CSEL 54, pp. 616-647 |
| Notes: | A commentary on Ps. 45 addressed to Marcella’s friend and companion Principia (see Letter 127). Jerome prefaces what he has to say by a defense of his practice of writing for women, a practice which had exposed him to many foolish sneers. He deals with the same subject in his dedication of the Commentary of Sophronius. (Fremantle, p. 134) |
