Jerome Wears A Dress Poem by gershon hepner
Jerome Wears A Dress
When monks made St. Jerome put on a dress,
they made a monkey out of him, but not his gender.
Vulgar virgins caused him no distress
performing this pre-Vulgate gender-bender.
Inspired by a folio from the Limbourg brothers’ “Belles Heures of the Duke of Berry, ” illustrating the attempt of St. Jerome’s fellow monks to make him wear a gorgeous blue dress.
