S. Jerome, in his Book of Illustrious Men,
or Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, composed at Bethlehem
about six years after Cyril’s death, writes in Chapter 112:
“Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, having been often driven out from
the Church, afterwards in the reign of Theodosius held his Bishopric
undisturbed for eight years: by whom there are Catechetical
Lectures, which he composed in his youth.”
