Author Description

The Sources Of The First Ten Books Of Augustines De Civitate Dei (1906) is a scholarly work by Samuel Angus. The book provides a detailed analysis of the sources used by Augustine in writing the first ten books of his famous work, De Civitate Dei (The City of God). Angus examines the various texts and authors that influenced Augustine's thinking and writing, including the Bible, the works of Plato, Cicero, and other ancient philosophers, and the writings of Christian theologians such as Ambrose and Jerome. The book also includes a discussion of Augustine's own ideas and how he used these sources to develop his arguments about the nature of God, human nature, and the relationship between the City of God and the City of Man. This book is an important resource for scholars and students of Augustine's work, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christian thought and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
