“Did Augustine Win?” Another Look at an Old Question about the Contra Fortunatum
The article examines Augustine’s rhetoric, and specifically his strategy of commenting on the responses of his opponent, throughout the Contra Fortunatum. Taking into account both the dialectical and the rhetorical dimensions of the debate, we regard this study, with its narrow focus on only one aspect of Augustine’s rhetoric (the continuous comments on the opponent’s responses to create a powerful subtext that permeates the debate), as the begin…
Three Instances of Greek Autobiographical Writing from the Fourth Century BCE
The article argues that an alternative perspective on ancient autobiographical writing becomes possible when the emphasis is placed on first-person narration as a narrative strategy per se. Plato's Apology of Socrates and Seventh Letter and Isocrates' Antidosis are examined as the earliest extant examples of extended first-person narration from Greek antiquity. The following issues are highlighted as significant factors to be kept in mind in the …
Tacitus' Account of the Pannonian Revolt (Ann. 1.16-30)
Introduction The Pannonian revolt (Ann. 1.16-30) is one of the sections that receives the least attention in the prolific body of criticism on the first six books of the Annales. This results partly from the bipartite structure of the Tiberian hexad which invites critics-once they have dealt with the prologue (1.1-15)I_to concentrate on Germanicus as the foil for Tiberius in the first triad (1.3lff) and on Seianus in the second. However, the main…
Language in the Confessions of Augustine
The 'Anti-Manichaean' Passage in Confessions 3 and its 'Manichaean Audience
The article is an analysis of Confessions 3.6.10 to 3.10.18 to support an argument that many strategies in Augustine's masterpiece are eminently suited to communicate with a Manichaean audience and designed to convince such an audience of the errors of Manichaeism. In Book 3 the narrative reaches the stage of Augustine's life where he joins the Manichees. The description of the encounter presented here, however, is much more than the communicatio…
The Puzzle of the Last Four Books of Augustine's Confessions
The most important point this article wants to make is that the expectations of the ancient reader, Augustine's contemporary, of a work like the Confessions may have been diametrically opposite to the expectations with which the work has been read for the past number of centuries. I contend that, even though they too would no doubt have recognized the novel and creative devices that characterize the work, ancient readers would not have been perpl…
Reading Psalm 4 To the Manicheans
L'article traite du contenu et de l'intention anti-manicheenne des Confessions d'Augustin. L'A. se limite a l'analyse de l'attitude envers les manicheens d'un passage (Conf. IX.4.8-11) qui porte sur le Psaume 4 et revele une forte emotion positive envers les manicheens. L'A. montre qu'Augustin appelle les manicheens qui constituent l'audience du passage
