The first volume of the Letters of Saint Augustine covers the period from his retreat at Cassiciacum in Italy in the fall of 386 (or the spring of 387) to the height of the Donatist controversy in 408 (or 409).
-
The fifty-six letters contained in this volume were, with a few possible exceptions, written between 408 and 414. During these years the Donatist schism came to a head and was in principle healed by the Conference of Carthage in June of 411.
-
The sixty-two letters contained in this volume were written between 414 and 422 or 423, though a number of them are virtually impossible to date with any certainty. During these years Augustine became deeply involved in the controversy on grace with Pelagius and his ally, Caelestius, both of whom had passed through North Africa shortly after the fall of Rome.
-
The present volume contains ninety-four letters, the last sixty-three of the previously known letters and the thirty-one more recently discovered and edited by Johannes Divjak in the final quarter of the last century. There are eighty-one letters of which Augustine is the author. Each letter is preceded by its own introduction in which the translator offers valuable information about the persons, content, and background pertinent to the letter.
