Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Forensic Rhetoric and Augustine's anti-Donatist Correspondence. Augustine, a former renown teacher of rhetoric, came to be known as the great polemicist, celebrated as the champion of orthodoxy against Donatism, Manicheism and Pelagianism. Was it only the quality of his theology and the favour of the imperial court that enabled him to gain such a reputation? This case study of Augustine's anti-Donatist correspondence analyses his use of rhetoric throughout the course of the Donatist controversy to answer this question. It argues that Augustine was consciously recreating the strategies of forensic rhetoric taught in the schools across the Roman empire to achieve his polemical goals. 232 Seiten, gebunden (Forschungen zur Kirchen- und Dogmengeschichte; Band 120/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2020). Statt EUR 85,00. Gewicht: 555 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.

- Alte Geschichte, Augustinus
We all know that Augustine was a teacher of rhetoric before he became a highly influential Church leader. We know that he never stopped using rhetoric as a bishop. What we do not always know is what we mean by Augustine s rhetoric. Is it the style, the figures of speech, encrypted in strange names like hendiadys or homoioteleuton?
We also know that Augustine wrote letters throughout his ecclesiastical career, some of them highly polemical. The scholars tend to see the ancient correspondence as a part of a celebrated ritual of friendship. But has Augustine really used the letters written in the heat of the Donatist controversy within this cultural context?
For decades the works of Augustine have been of interest mostly for Church historians and theologians, and rightly so. It is worth noticing, however, that the people who read or listened to them at the time of their composition were alumni of rhetorical and law schools, where they had to read Cicero s speeches and learn from rhetorical handbooks (some authored by himself, other written under his influence). The aim of this study is to prove that Augustine s polemical correspondence is teeming with examples of rhetorical tricks commonly used in courtroom argumentation. I argue that the backbone of Augustine s anti-Donatist letters, that is his patterns of argumentation and strategies of persuasion, is largely formed by the techniques of forensic rhetoric.
My aim here is to offer an insight into how Augustine used rhetorical tools inherited from classical theory in building and developing polemical strategies in his anti-Donatist letters. This study should expand our knowledge on such various topics as history of rhetoric, ancient epistolography, polemical literature and Augustine s art as a polemicist.
