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