Folio. 8 leaves, the last blank, 33 lines to the page, gothic
letter, without place or printer's name. Three-line space for first
initial and initial-strokes supplied in red. Blank last leaf

The author of the work here directly ascribed to St. Augustine was the
mystic theologian Hugo de Sancto Victore (1097-1140), member of the
Canons Regular of St. Augustine and head of the abbey school of St.
Victor, near Paris. From his familiarity with the writings of Augustine
and likeness to his spirit, he was styled _Alter Augustinus_, a title
which furnishes a plausible but not wholly satisfactory explanation of
the confusion in the present case. For among the spurious writings which
have been put under Augustine's name more than one has been borrowed
from this author. For example, chapters 5-10 of the _Liber de diligendo
Deo_ are taken almost word for word from the present treatise.
In the present edition of this soliloquy cast in the form of a dialogue
the interlocutors are _Augustinus_ and _Anima_ (both names always
printed in capitals); in a Strassburg edition of about the same date,
_Hugo_ and _anima sua_; in the collected edition of Hugo's works, _homo_
and _anima_.
