Antonio Vivarini and Giovanni d'Alemagna, Polyptych of St. Sabina: Detail, lower register
On the left is a portrait of St. Jerome in his usual red garb. The church held in his right hand is typical of his portraits in the Veneto, Istria, and Dalmatia. The rays of light emanating from the open book in his other hand are a novel touch. Perhaps they indicate that the book is the saint's translation of the Bible into Latin.
St. Sabina is in the anchor panel of the polyptych. Her legend is explained in our page for the polyptych as a whole.
The saint on the right is identified by literature in the church as Saint "Lizerio." He may be the saint who is the subject of the Acta Sanctorum's article on "Licerius" (August vol. 6, 45-49). A most obscure saint, he is not even among the ten thousand listed in Watkins's Book of Saints.
