The article presents the way of using paradoxographical information regard­ing the matter of animals with doubtful identification in leading anti-heretical and Anti-Judaist polemic on the example of the sixth book Commentary on Isaiah by Jerome of Stridon. In the allegoric explanation of Is 13:19 - 14:1 Bethlehem monk juxtaposed widely known information about mythological creatures with the well-known story from the Book of Genesis about the conflict of Esau with Jacob. This let him explain why the followers of Judaism and heretics are the allies when it comes to fighting with the Church. Anti-Judaism and anti-heretic polemic was one of the most important topic brought up by alexandrine exegesis that Jerome was influenced by during his whole life.

The paper focuses on the poem “Penelopea or the innocence of the strangely wonderful maiden sev’n times tortured. Previously by Jerome the saint, now by Jan Achacy Kmita described” (Penelopea abo niewinność dziwnie cudownej niewiasty siedm razy ciętej. Przedtym przez Hieronima świętego, a teraz przez Jana Achacego Kmitę opisana) by Jan Achacy Kmita (ca. 1560 – ca. 1628). The 1610 text is a poetic paraphrase of “Letter 1” by St. Jerome of Stridon. This paper presents the methods of Kmita’s translation and situates “Penelopea” in relation to “Susanna” by Jan Kochanowski. The translator has particularly accentuated the drama of the plot (characterised by the presence of numerous expressivisms), locating the macabre episodes in a small-town scenery. Both “Susanna” and “Penelopea” can be described as poetic exempla, however Kmita’s epyllion is devoid of topics of providence and divine justice, unlike Kochanowski’s text. Kmita focuses on the epic hic et nunc, the symptoms of wonder, marvel, and cruelty, and draws from them a parenetic conclusion of persistance in suffering.
