In Defence of Faith, Against the Manichaeans
Critical Edition and Historical, Literary and Theological Study of the Treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, Attributed to Evodius of Uzalis
By (author) Aaron Vanspauwen
This publication offers a historical, literary, and theological study of the treatise Aduersus Manichaeos, attributed to Evodius of Uzalis. Evodius was a friend and contemporary of Augustine of Hippo. His anti-Manichaean treatise Aduersus Manichaeos constitutes an important source on both the Christian church as well as the Manichaean movement in the Latin world in the fifth century. Nevertheless, because the treatise bears witness to the influence of the anti-Manichaean writings of Augustine of Hippo, it has not yet been systematically studied on its own. As a result, much of its historical circumstances have been shrouded in mystery. This volume is the result of the doctoral research of Aaron Vanspauwen (KU Leuven). The volume reconstructs the circumstances in which Aduersus Manichaeos was written, and studies the treatise in relation to its fifth-century North African context. This publication complements the study of Aduersus Manichaeos with a new critical edition of the original Latin text of the treatise, including a facing English translation.
