Abstract

The rather extensive correspondence of St Augustine of Hippo is about 300 letters addressed to various people living in the vast majority of cases in the western part of the then united Roman Empire1. Only three letters in this vast collection have as their addressees bishops of the Greek, linguistically and culturally, East. One of these letters (Ep. 179), to John, bishop of Jerusalem, has long been known to the learned world, the other two (Ep. 4* to St Cyril of Alexandria and Ep. 6* to Atticus of Constantinople) were discovered relatively recently, in the late 1970s, by Professor Johannes Divjak of the University of Vienna, along with many other letters of St Augustine.
