description: This monograph relates the story of a little known historical moment, in which the bones of St. Augustine of Hippo, one of the great theologians, were transferred from Sardinia to Pavia in the early 8th century. Hallenbeck (history, Ohio Wesleyan U., retired) adds a new dimension to a well-discussed figure by evaluating the role the translation of his bones played in reshaping the belief and behavior of the people in his new resting place.
