| Summary: | The article presents the first conclusions that can be drawn from the integral collation of Augustine's De ciuitate Dei book I, against all pre-10th century complete and partial manuscript witnesses (fragments excluded), in order to lay more scientific foundations for the establishment of the text of this masterpiece. First, a brief external and internal description of the manuscripts included in the corpus is provided. Second, the stemmatical configuration of the lower levels of the stemma is discussed. Lastly, the issues related with the main branches are examined, also with regard to the possible survival of authorial variants. L'article présente les premières conclusions qui peuvent être tirées de la collation intégrale du livre I du De ciuitate Dei d'Augustin, par rapport à tous les témoins manuscrits complets et partiels antérieurs au xe siècle (fragments exclus), afin de poser des bases plus scientifiques pour l'établissement du texte de cette oeuvre. Tout d'abord, une brève description externe et interne des manuscrits inclus dans le corpus est fournie. Ensuite, la configuration stemmatique des niveaux inférieurs du stemma est discutée. Enfin, les questions relatives aux branches principales sont examinées, y compris en ce qui concerne la survie éventuelle de variantes d'auteur. |
