The Ways of Ridiculing the Opponents in Augustine’s Letters. The case of the Donatists

Augustine is rarely studied as a polemist and even less often as a satirist, especially if we are to compare him with Jerome. The pages of his anti-Donatist writings are primarily read by historians and theologians, for whom, rightly, the question of his use of ridicule is of secondary importance. I...

520 |a Augustine is rarely studied as a polemist and even less often as a satirist, especially if we are to compare him with Jerome. The pages of his anti-Donatist writings are primarily read by historians and theologians, for whom, rightly, the question of his use of ridicule is of secondary importance. In this case study of Augustine’s anti-Donatist correspondence I will try to ask exactly that question. The close reading of his polemical letters proves that Augustine at times aimed at raising laughter by portraying his adversaries in a peculiar way. The analysis starts with the Donatists’ leaders who are presented as hypocrites and men of unimpressive intelligence. Next, I discuss how Augustine mocked the Donatists’ martyrs and their idea of martyrdom. The last part presents the ways of ridiculing the Donatist converts.
