Synopsis

Explore how Augustine’s De Civitate Dei draws on ancient writers and how scholars reconstruct those sources. This study presents a detailed look at the literary authorities Augustine may have known, and how later editors and editors’ notes shape our understanding of his first ten books. It also examines Augustine’s knowledge of Greek and what that means for reading his work in its historical context.

This edition surveys the sources Augustine references, compares manuscript traditions, and explains how scholars identify where he drew on works now lost or fragmentary. It highlights the careful method behind tracing citations, cross-referencing, and the scholarly apparatus that supports the text.

• Clear, source-by-source analysis of Augustine’s readings for Books I–X


• Discussion of how editors like Dombart and Hoffmann influence the edition


• Assessment of Augustine’s knowledge of Greek and its effect on his writing


• Notes on manuscript history, quotations, and scholarly apparatus

Ideal for students and readers of Augustine, late ancient philosophy, and the history of biblical interpretation.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
