This focus stemmed from his close patron relationships with several prominent female ascetics who were members of affluent senatorial families.
In many cases, he focused his attention on the lives of women and identified how a woman devoted to Jesus should live her life. Jerome was known for his teachings on Christian moral life, especially to those living in cosmopolitan centers such as Rome. In addition to his biblical works he wrote polemical and historical essays, always from a theologian's perspective. Jerome attempted to create a translation of the Old Testament based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint, as prior Latin Bible translations used. He is best known for his translation of the Bible into Latin (the translation that became known as the Vulgate) and his commentaries on the whole Bible.
