Sumario:La correspondance découverte par J. Divjak ne fournit qu'"une modeste contribution à l'histoire des grandes controverses de l'épôque" (p. 502); elle est riche, en revanche, de précisions sur divers aspects de l'activité quotidienne d'Augustin: "In his busy life, he accomplished an incredible number of things, neing pressed day after day and year after year by problems both theological and pastoral. These new letters add richly to the examples and illustrations found elsewhere in the writings of Augustine to enliven our understanding of late Antiquity as a time when life was so often cruel and violent and to appreciate the frustration of those like Augustine who tried to alleviate the suffering".
