One route to understanding the nature of specifically religious violence is the study of past conflicts. Distinguished ancient historian Brent D. Shaw provides a new analysis of the intense sectarian ...battles between the Catholic and Donatist churches of North Africa in late antiquity, in which Augustine played a central role as Bishop of Hippo. The development and deployment of images of hatred, including that of the heretic, the pagan, and the Jew, and the modes by which these were most effectively employed, including the oral world of the sermon, were critical to promoting acts of violence. Shaw explores how the emerging ecclesiastical structures of the Christian church, on one side, and those of the Roman imperial state, on the other, interacted to repress or excite violent action. Finally, the meaning and construction of the acts themselves, including the Western idea of suicide, are shown to emerge from the conflict itself.
The Bibliotheca Teubneriana, established in 1849, has evolved into the world's most venerable and extensive series of editions of Greek and Latin literature, ranging from classical to Neo-Latin ...texts. Some 4-5 new editions are published every year.

The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is an academic series that publishes critical editions of Latin works by late-antique Christian authors from the time of the late 2nd century ...until the beginning of the 7th century. The editions are prepared in cooperation with internationally renowned experts according to modern editorial techniques and are meant to serve as textual basis for scholarly disciplines dealing with Late Antiquity. The volumes are published by the scientific institution "CSEL", which was founded in 1864 by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and which is part of the University of Salzburg since 2012. In addition, monographs on topics related to the Latin patristic period and conference proceedings are published at irregular intervals (Extra Seriem).
This volume offers a comprehensive portrait--or rather, self-portrait, since its words are mostly Augustine's own--drawn from the breadth of his writings and from the long course of his career
Das Buch behandelt und konstruiert die Epochenschwelle Antike-Mittelalter exemplarisch anhand Augustins geistiger Entwicklung als Funktion seiner historischen Situiertheit zu Beginn des 5. ...Jahrhunderts.Zu Beginn wird grundsätzlich die Frage nach dem Sinn von Epochenschwellen gestellt. Diese werden in vorliegender Arbeit in Anlehnung an Hans Blumenbergs Untersuchung zur Epochenschwelle Mittelalter-Neuzeit und gegen die "nominalistische Skepsis(Flasch) als ex post konstruierte Einteilungen der Vergangenheit verstanden. Das Ziel dieser historiographischen Navigationshilfe ist die Orientierung im Rückgriff auf die eigenen Traditionen in einer ansonsten unzugänglichen Vergangenheit.Augustin als Repräsentant der Epochenschwelle bietet sich (neben anderen, plausiblen Kandidaten) insofern an, als sich bei ihm "innerer und äußerer Wandel berühren (Peter Brown) und er neuen Umweltbedingungen begegnen musste, die in dem umfangreichen vre Augustins ihren Niederschlag gefunden haben. Diesem Diktum Browns entsprechend folgt der Hauptteil der Arbeit folgender Systematik:1. Augustin auf der Schwelle 1: Äußerer Wandel von der Spätantike zum frühen Mittelalter2. Augustin auf der Schwelle 2: Die Bekehrung(en) als innerer Wandel3. Augustin auf der Schwelle 3: Augustinrezeption zwischen Philosophie und Theologie im Spiegel der Epochen
