Correct, I made the mistake of not noticing the page scrolls down, so I was looking only at the intro. So I read page, and I take Jerome's arguments as inadequate and ineffective. If you read Farrar's refutation in "Early Days of Christianity," ch. 19, pp. 265-279, you can see what I'm talking about. IMO Farrar's argument is far more compelling.The link he provided was a link to the writing of Jerome, called "The Perpetual Virginity of Mary." The translation is taken from Volume 6 of "Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Second Series", which was published in the late 19th century.
The opening part of the page, which is what mentions Farrar's Early Days of Christianity, is an introductory note to the work in Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (not sure if it was done by the translator or the editor). After the introduction it changes into the document by Jerome itself. Unfortunately, the page doesn't make it clear that it's switching; it would've been better if it had been in a different font color for the introduction, as that site does on some other pages. The original printing makes the distinction far more clear, as it changes from one column to two columns.
