| Abstract | Augustine of Hippo was such central an authority in the Early Middle Ages that his reception may sometimes seem hard to historicise. In recent years, several studies have shown how especially careful work on manuscripts can yield a better understanding of how Augustine's texts spread, and how and why they were used. The three papers in this session, by an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars, examine how his texts and ideas were transmitted from the 6th to the 9th centuries and were used in different historical contexts and climates. |
