Augustine the African / Catherine Conybeare.

Conybeare, Catherine, (author.).

Summary:

Augustine the African by Catherine Conybeare re-centers Augustine of Hippo's African identity, showing how his major works emerged not from Europe but from North Africa during the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
