Letter 149: On the Jewish Festivals
[This letter argues that Jewish religious festivals have been superseded by the New Covenant. However, it has no legitimate claim to be considered a work of Jerome and is widely regarded as spurious. Its inclusion in the collection reflects the common ancient practice of attaching anonymous or orphaned texts to famous names.]
[Not by Jerome. No translation provided.]
