Excerpt from Favorite Scripture Texts of Famous People: Including Interesting Facts and Incidents Concerning Texts With Brief Accounts of Famous Bibles "Here begins the epistle of St. Jerome to the elder Paulinus regarding all the books of sacred history. "Chapter First, - Brother Ambrosius, in conveying to me your presents, brought at the same time a most delightful letter, which bore assurance of the faithfulness of a long friendship, new evidence of loyalty already proved and of an old Intimacy. For that is a true bond of intimacy and one based on the love of Christ, which is formed not through considerations of worldly gain, nor though mere bodily association, nor through flattery, crafty and caressing, but through the fear of God and study of the holy Scriptures. "We read in the old histories that certain men traversed distant regions, visited unknown peoples and crossed seas for the purpose of seeing in person those whom they had known from books. So Pythagoras saw the Egyptian seers, so Plato saw Egypt and Archytas of Tarentum, and with the greatest labor traversed that coast of Italy, which formerly was called Magna Græcia, so that he who at Athens was a teacher and a man of power, and whose doctrines the colleges of the Academic sect proclaimed, became an alien and a pupil, preferring to learn humbly the teachings of another than boldly to obtrude his own. Finally, while seeking to verify the references of a literature, which, as it were, embraced the whole earth in its extent, he was captured by pirates and having been sold was in bondage to a tyrant of the greatest cruelty, and though taken captive, bound and a slave, nevertheless the philosopher was greater than the man who bought him."
