He was trained in classical rhetoric and ancient philosophy, and 'left his distinctive mark on most aspects of western Christianity'. (...) Augustine's major works are landmarks in the abandonment of classical ideals. (OCD 2nd ed. p. 148) The 'Opuscula Selecta' are: 'Epistola S. Augustini CV, ad Sixtum presbyterum, postea Pontificem Rom (p. 1/45); Epistola CVI ad Bonifacium, vel, ut alii, ad Paulinum (p. 46/88); Epistola CVII ad Vitalem Carthaginensem. (p. 89/119); Liber S.

Prosperi altera Hilarii, ad Augustinum (p. 285/319); Libri duo S. Augustini quibus respondet, duabus Epistolis D.
