English summary: This volume is part of Mohr Siebeck’s handbook series. The works in this series focus on central theological figures to begin with and will later deal with various periods in church history. Their purpose is to provide an overall view of the pertinent research in a manner which is intelligible to everybody, is up-to-date and which encourages the readers to increase their knowledge on their own. There is a wide range of research on Augustine, and much of it is highly specialized. The well-known authors of this book, all of them experts on Augustine, have written articles on various aspects of Augustine’s life and works. The purpose of this handbook is to convey a general picture of Augustine and to describe the various historical, theological and philosophical approaches to him. The authors deal with the condition of the texts, Augustine’s historical surroundings, those areas which had a positive or negative influence on him, fields in which he was active (for example Augustine as a bishop or a liturgist) and also provide a selection of the main works and subjects. The work concludes with a section on the important stations of the reception of Augustine in history. German description: Dieses Lehr- und Studienbuch ist Teil der Handbuch-Reihe bei Mohr Siebeck. Die zunachst auf zentrale Personen, spater auch auf Perioden der Kirchengeschichte bezogenen Bande sollen den einschlagigen Forschungsstand in allgemeinverstandlicher, aktueller, zu selbstandiger Vertiefung anleitender Ubersicht darstellen. Sie sind fur Fachleute und Liebhaber der Theologie, aber auch der angrenzenden Disziplinen – wie der Geschichtswissenschaft, Germanistik oder Philosophie – von Interesse.Die Augustinforschung ist breit gefachert und in hohem Masse spezialisiert. In diesem Handbuch schreiben einschlagig bekannte Fachleute jeweils zu den entsprechenden Aspekten des Lebens und Werks Augustins. Das Handbuch soll so ein Gesamtbild von Augustin vermitteln und verschiedene historische, theologische und philosophische Zugangsweisen bundeln. Die Uberlieferungs- und Editionslage, das historische Umfeld Augustins, Bereiche, die ihn – positiv wie negativ – beeinflusst haben, und die verschiedenen Felder, auf denen er tatig geworden ist (etwa als Bischof und als Liturg), werden ebenso behandelt wie eine Auswahl der wichtigsten Werke und Themen. Ein Abschnitt zu Aspekten der Wirkungsgeschichte schliesst das Werk ab.
