The contributions collected in this volume share a common focus on Augustine’s De civitate Dei and its early medieval legacy, addressing a wide range of topics within this extended field of research. The volume is intended as a stimulus for a multidisciplinary approach (philological, literary, theological, and philosophical) to Augustine’s magnum opus and its early reception.
The structure of the volume is tripartite: Content and Themes, Manuscript Sources, and Afterlife. Each part explores the layered and dynamic complexity of De civitate Dei in its own right – be it the theological and literary architecture of the text, the arduous process of transmission, or its wide-ranging and at times ambivalent reception.
