Life

He was born in

Marcella, Oceanus and Pammachius.[2]

Jerome wrote a commentary on the Book of Jeremiah for him.[3]

He travelled with Jerome to the

Saint Paula and Saint Eustochium. They travelled to Jerusalem, after which Eusebius founded a monastery in Bethlehem
and acted as its abbot for a time, until returning to Cremona in 400. From Jerusalem, he may have travelled to Egypt with Jerome at about this time.

In AD 400 Eusebius returned to Italy via Dalmatia to raise funds for a pilgrim hostel.[4] It was then that he represented Jerome to the Pope, and convinced the Pope of the error of Origen.[5]

He succeeded Jerome as the head of his monastery,[6] in Italy.

A tradition credits him with founding Guadalupe Abbey in Spain in latter life. Another late traditions credits him with raising three men from the dead,

Raphael Sanzio.[8]

He lived until 423AD and is remembered with a

feast day on May 5. It is unknown where he died. One tradition holds he is buried next to Jerome in Bethlehem
, and the crypt there is dedicated to him, however a second tradition holds he is buried in Italy.

Theology

During the Origen Disputes he was a vigorous[3] and active supporter of Jerome,[9] and is believed to have persuaded Pope Anastasius to condemn Origen's writings.[2]

During the controversy, a letter form

Marcella.[13][14]

Pope Damascus.[15][16]

Eusebius also sided with Jerome in the disputes with Pelagius.[2][12]
