AN DER JULIUS-MAXIMILIANS-UNIVERSITÄT WÜRZBURG

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.11.33 (J.J. O'Donnell)

«The Augustinus-Lexikon, on whose editorial board I have served for many years. Founded by Prof. C.P. Mayer, O.S.A., then of the University of Giessen, the work is headquartered at the University of Würzburg. The first fascicle appeared in 1986; three full volumes of eight fascicles and four fascicles of the fourth and concluding volume have now appeared and the end is confidently in sight within this decade. Enough has now appeared that the work has become the standard point of reference for matters Augustinian... The Aug.-Lex. aspires to cover the biographical and historical context (people/places/events), the works of A., his philosophical and theological doctrines, and even detailed study of key terms in use in his works. So the article on Augustine’s letters runs to 160 double-columned pages in Aug.-Lex. ... There is not yet a digital representation of the work, but I expect discussion in the next few years.»
