What sort of Bible did Augustine have? How did he quote from it - and was he        accurate? Do Augustine's biblical citations transmit readings not found in any        surviving manuscripts? This book is part of a major project on the Old Latin        versions of the Gospel according to John, and uses Augustine as a test-case to        examine the importance of the evidence provided by the Church Fathers for the text        of the Gospels. The early history of the Latin Bible is reconstructed from        Augustine'scomments in his treatise De doctrina christiana (On Christian teaching).          Details are assembled from sermons, letters, and other writings to show how        Augustine and his contemporaries used the Bible in the liturgy of the Church, public        debates, and in composing their own works. Augustine's own methods ofciting the        Bible are analysed, and features are identified which are characteristic of        citations produced from memory rather than read from a gospel codex. The second part        of the book is a chronological survey of the biblical text in Augustine's works,        showing how he switched from using the older versions of the Gospel to the revised        text of Jerome, which later became known as the Vulgate. Finally, a verse by verse        commentary is provided on all the significant readings in Augustine's text ofJohn,        assessing their significance for the history of the Latin Bible, and in some cases        the Greek tradition as well. Details are also given of Augustine's exegesis of        particular verses of the Gospel, making this an indispensable handbook for biblical        scholars and church historians alike.
