Raúl Villegas Marín - The Background to the Augustinian Controversy: Circulation, Reception, and Copying of Books in Fifth-Century Gaul

Interest in the (now currently) so-called “Augustinian controversy,” has grown in the last few years. While many recent works have focused on the theological controversy, little attention has been paid to what I call the “material background” of the dispute. The purpose of this workshop paper is to highlight the circulation, reception, and copying of Augustine's works in Marseilles and Lerins, and how this may have influenced the debate.
