Saint Augustine's Critical Judgment of the Pagan Writers

The following is an attempt to study Saint Augustine’s attitude toward the Greek and Latin pagan writers. An effort has been made to record all of the direct quotations of the pagan authors used by Saint Augustine in the twenty-two books of his Be Civitate Dei. |I have undertaken to emphasize the fact that the number of times an author has been quoted and the manner in which each author has been described somewhat emphasizes Augustine’s judgment of them. |Therefore, with the chart containing the above mentioned information, I have included short commentaries and recordings of those quotations to indicate Augustine’s appraisal of those who were responsible for them.
