Expert and accessible, Fitzgeralds work is the first encyclopedic treatment of the life and thought of Augustine of Hippo. More than 140 leading international scholars have contributed over 400 articles (many of which have never been published in English) on nearly every aspect of Augustines life. Indexes, cross-references, and up-to-date bibliographies make this volume comprehensively useful.

From Library Journal:
Providing the first full encyclopedic handling of the thought and influence of St. Augustine of Hippo, editor Fitzgerald (Augustinian Patristic Inst., Rome; editor of Augustinian Studies for Villanova Univ.) and four associate editors supply a much-needed reference for this major patristic figure in the development of Western religious thought. Over 140 scholars have supplied more than 400 articles ranging generally from 200 to 2000 words on double-column pages. Each article is signed, and most contain bibliographies citing both older and more recent scholarship. Topics range from the general ("Anthropology," "Archaeology," "Love," "Time") to the specific (personal names, places, and Latin titles). A foreword by Jaroslav Pelikan was not seen by this reviewer; nor were the subject and name indexes. Because Augustine's own life appears not under his name but under "Life, Cultures and Controversies of Augustine," the index quality will be especially important for mining content. The inclusion of maps and illustrations would have been a plus. Recommended for academic and seminary libraries and public library collections where there is demand.AAnna M.

Review:
This inexpensive volume is a fine achievement. Few figures in history are so great in their own time and so lastingly influential that they can stand being made the subject of an encyclopedia of over 900 pages. If not every article is a masterpiece, the majority are admirably done by a distinguished team of well-informed scholars. Lucid articles summarize Augustine's numerous extant works and the major themes of his writing..... Notable is the decision to survey Augustine's subsequent influences on, for instance Boethius, Gregory the Great, Carolingian debates, Peter Lombard, Luther and Reformation, Seripando and Trent, Renaissance humanism, Jansenius, Blondel, Harnack and Heidegger..... The bibliographies are valuable. All in all, a desirable, well-produced volume. -- Henry Chadwick in Times Literary Supplement, February 4, 2000
