| Summary: | The French can claim, not unreasonably, to be the nation which has most honoured Augustine of Hippo by the study of his writings. Behind modern scholars like Eugène Portalié, H.-I. Marrou, and Pierre Courcelle is a tradition which looks back to the monks of St-Germain-des-Prés, whose heroic labours were contrasted by Gibbon with the sloth of the ‘monks’ of his own Magdalen College, Oxford. Anne-Isabelle Bouton-Touboulic stands in this tradition, with great learning and prodigious application. Although she presumably uses a computer, like other scholars today, she is able to sort out and organize the materials which this medium is able to provide in an abundance which is apt to become unmanageable. |
