Description
Summary:Augustine uses an unusual scriptural variant for the ending of John 5:19 twelve times. Ten occur in several Trinitarian writings produced around 418-420 CE. There is sufficient evidence to argue that Augustine's use of Jerome's translation of Didymus the Blind's De spiritu sancto accounts for the presence of the variant in these writings. Augustine's two earlier uses are more difficult to explain. The variant appears once in a sermon delivered at the end of 411 CE and once in De consensu euangelistarum, Book One, which is generally dated to 403-404 CE. The following article argues that Augustine's use of ps.-Athanasius's De trinitate, Book XI likely accounts for these two early uses.
