Biografisk notat
fm.author_biographical_note1 fm.author_biographical_note2'Dyson's wonderfully lucid, carefully literal and historically sensitive translation ... makes this the edition that most readers will now choose to consult ... We must be grateful for this excellent new translation.' The Times Higher Education Supplement<br />'It reads remarkably well; it is elegant, generally succeeds in reproducing the rhetorical colouring Augustine frequently gives his argument, and, is remarkably faithful to the text. A short but helpful introduction ... provides the necessary information about the context of the work, and summarises the main points of Augustine's political thought. The book is handsome and well produced.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
