Augustine of Hippo was one of the first authors to give rise to the needfor anthologies devoted to a single author. Today, over a hundredflorilegia dedicated solely to Augustine's writings are known. Over thecourse of the Middle Ages, several of these collections provedinstrumental in giving access to the Bishop of Hippo's large oeuvre, andin determining the direction of its reception.
In fourteenchapters, this volume presents some important Augustinian florilegia,their sources, composition, context, afterlife, and the challengesinherent in editing and studying them. Beginning in Late Antiquity, withVincent of Lérins and Prosper of Aquitaine, the volume discusses severalmedieval and early modern florilegia, both well-known and more marginal,and concludes with their use by Augustine's modern editors. As such,this book contributes to a better understanding of the reception ofAugustine throughout the Middle Ages and to the ways in which hisexceptional auctoritas took shape.
