“Pseudo-Jerome” marks works under Jerome’s name that are not his. The most important for the Gospels is an early-medieval Hiberno-Latin Expositio on Mark (c. 7th century), on which the Catena Aurea leans heavily to supply the comment the genuine Fathers left sparse for that Gospel.

The most important piece under this label is an early-medieval Hiberno-Latin Expositio on Mark, on which Aquinas's Catena Aurea leans heavily to supply comment the genuine Fathers had left sparse for that Gospel. It illustrates how the medieval chains drew on whatever sound exposition was available, authentic or not, to give every verse a voice.
