Publication: 10.58367/NECY.2024.1
Field of study: Late Antiquity
Summary:

In recent decades, network analysis has gained significant popularity as a methodological approach among scholars. This paper focuses on the letter collection of Jerome of Stridon (ca. 347‑420 AD) and employs network theory and specialized software for network analysis. The objective is twofold: to uncover statistical insights and to provide interpretations of different facets, including the actors’ roles, the most influential figures within the network, and the patterns of letter usage. Additionally, the paper presents visual representations of the
network.
