Publisher's Synopsis
The Subjunctive In The Letters Of Saint Augustine is a scholarly work by Anthony Blase Paluszak that explores the use of the subjunctive mood in the letters of Saint Augustine, a prominent Christian theologian and philosopher of the 4th and 5th centuries. The book analyzes the various ways in which Augustine employs the subjunctive mood to express doubt, possibility, hypothetical situations, and other nuances of meaning. Paluszak's analysis is based on a close reading of Augustine's letters in their original Latin, and he provides extensive examples and explanations of the different types of subjunctive constructions used by Augustine. The book is aimed at scholars and students of Latin and early Christian literature, as well as anyone interested in the linguistic and rhetorical techniques of one of the most influential thinkers in Western history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
