Title: A reconstruction of the Old-Latin text or texts of the Gospels used by Saint Augustine
First published: 1926
Description: This attempts the reconstruction of the fourfold Gospel as quoted by Augustine in the first 50 of his 118 works, the last being dated A.D. 400. Since it is generally agreed that he regularly used the St. Jerome's revision of the Latin Gospels, known as the Vulgate Gospels (published A.D. 383), during the remaining 30 years of his life, the present inquiry is limited to the extant works of Augustine written during the earlier period of his authorship, 385-400, comprising of 1941 Gospel quotations. The vestiges of Old-Latin in Augustine's non-Vulgate Gospel quotations are compared with the known African texts, e and k.
