• St. Jerome: Epistle 117: To a Mother and Daughter Living in Gaul. Both widowed mother and single daughter are trying to live as nuns, but through some disagreement live apart. Moreover, both have invited male monastics to live with them as "chaste protectors". Jerome addresses some of the problems of "double monasticism" and "monasticism in the world", and of family relations. He also paints an extremely vivid portrait of an upper-class Roman dinner-party -- not particularly decadent, but still an inappropriate place for nuns. --- SPL
