ON THE MONOGRAM OF CHRIST. — A short treatise attributed to St. Jerome on the form and significance of the monogram of Christ.

The text is an addition to Jerome’s revision of the work of Victorinus of Pettau on *Apoc.* 13:18. Morin held it to be Jerome’s own work (v. *Revue Bénédictine*, 20 [1903], pp. 225–32; id., *Anecdota Mavred-solana*, Maredsous 1903, pp. 194–98; id., *Etudes, Textes, Découvertes*, 1913, p. 20 sq). See, however, the objection raised by G. Haussleiter in his edition: *Victoriini episcopi Petavionensis opera*, Vienna 1916, p. 124; CSEL, XXXIX; also G. Grützmacher, *Hieronymus*, III, Berlin 1908, p. 238.
