New York ; Oxford : Oxford University Press,

Visser breaks ground in three ways. He grounds Augustine's theological reception in the history of reading and the material culture of books and manuscripts. He does not confine his examination to particular confessional parties, and he provides insight into the nature of intellectual authority in the early modern period.
