In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

INDEX Texts are listed both independently and under the names of their authors; but Lives, specifically,are listed also under the names of their subjects. For indi­ vidual ascetics listed alphabetically in Apophthegmata Patrum, see desert fathers. Friends, acquaintances, or correspondents of Jerome are followed by * (for example,Asella*). Modern authors are cited only where there is discussion or dispute.
