dc.description.abstract |
The article first sketches some main trends in the recent study of Augustine’s Confessions as
a work aimed at Manichaean readers. It then detects and analyses the Manichaean-inspired
parts in Book X of the Confessions. Augustine’s famous theory of memory seems to be directly
inspired by Manichaean concepts such as found in the Coptic Manichaean Kephalaia. The
article end with a number of conclusions. |
