| English Translation: | T.M. Hegedus, Jerome’s Commentary on Jonah” (Waterloo, Ont.1991) Each Prophet’s commentary has its own preface. The prefaces have been translated and summarized by W.H. Fremantle, “Prefaces to the Commentaries on the Minor Prophets” in NPNF2, vol. 6 (New York, 1893), pp. 501-02. |
| Notes: | Though these commentaries eventually circulated as a unit, they were composed separately. They were produced in a somewhat haphazard order (see the Jerome’s Works – Other” chart), because they were written at the behest of friends, and shorter books were sometimes undertaken when he had little time for writing (Kelly, p. 163). |
