The Rhetoric of St. Augustine of Hippo

"This volume is sure to become the standard edition of one of the most influential works in the history of rhetoric. Richard Enos and his collaborators have combined the original Latin text with a highly respected translation, extensive editorial commentary, and articles by several of the best-known historians of rhetoric. The book provides accessible and authoritative accounts of the issues that make De Doctrina Christiana so pivotal, not just to the development of rhetorical and religious studies but also to the history of literacy and hermeneutics."--BOOK JACKET.
