Latin commentary on the Gospel of Mark, sometimes attributed to Jerome but written by an unidentified scholar in the early medieval period. It has been dated to the seventh century, which would make it the earliest such commentary to survive, preceding that by Bede in the following century. The text is found in a number of manuscripts with Irish associations. Bischoff even suggested that the author may have been Irish, but this view has been contested or treated as unproven.

Glossary of biblical names compiled by Jerome in the second half of the 4th century. For each book that it treats, the text lists Hebrew as well as Aramaic and Greek proper names, especially personal names, in roughly alphabetical order and offers etymologies and interpretations. The work circulated widely in the Middle Ages and was also reworked, expanded, excerpted, rearranged and incorporated, for instance in gospels and other biblical manuscripts.
