Jerome revised Latin scripture at Rome and then in Bethlehem, working with Hebrew for much of the Old Testament. That project became the core of the later Vulgate. In the Dialogue Against the Luciferians, written around the early 380s, he says the whole world groaned and was astonished to find itself Arian. He meant the western capitulation at Ariminum in 359. The line is polemic, not a head count. He also attacked rivals, translated Origen, and then joined the attack on Origen.

Latin scholar who made the Vulgate translation from Hebrew and Greek in his monastery at Bethlehem and used Origen's library at Caesarea.
