Jerome

About Jerome

Jerome, who lived from 345 to 420 CE, was a significant Christian theologian and ascetic, best known for translating the Bible into Latin, a version known as the Vulgate. This translation became the standard Bible of the Catholic Church for over a thousand years, cementing his status as a foundational figure in Western religious scholarship. MIT's Pantheon project reflects this profound, long-term impact by ranking him #835 in historical importance among thousands of influential figures.

Despite this high historical rank, Jerome's modern internet visibility is relatively modest. He garnered approximately 573K annualized Wikipedia pageviews in 2025. This places his attention at roughly a 1x expected level relative to his importance, suggesting his contemporary online relevance tracks closely with his historical standing within the Pantheon. Interestingly, his attention is stable, showing no major shift in Q1 vs Q3 momentum, but his traffic is significantly lower than other religious figures like Brigham Young (#947 importance) who captured 2.5M views, highlighting a vast disparity in current digital engagement within the same field.

Jerome's attention has seen positive growth, recording a +13.7% year-over-year increase in 2025, indicating a slow but steady trend of renewed-though still minor-interest.
