			Featured on the cover: Saint Jerome as Scholar, ca. 1600–1614 Domenico Theotocopoulos, called El Greco (Spanish (born Crete), 1541–1614) Oil on canvas; 42 1/2 x 35 1/16 in. (108 x 89cm) Robert Lehman Collection, 1975 (1975.1.146) El Greco executed at least five paintings of Saint Jerome. In this version, from the last years of the painter's life, the saint is shown in the red robes of a cardinal, seated before an open book, an attribute indicating his role as translator of the Bible from Greek into Latin. His gaunt sunken features and long white beard refer to his familiar guise as a penitent. The painting is notable for the novel way in which the artist synthesized the two aspects of Saint Jerome, the scholarly and the ascetic.
