Abstract
This article demonstrates there was widespread knowledge of Augustine’s works on the other side of the Mediterranean, well before the transfer of the Hippo library to Rome under Pope Leo the Great, refuting previous views. In his ‘Instructiones’, written at Lérins monastery around 430-434, Eucherius gives us verbatim quotes from several works of the bishop of Hippo (§ 1); in many cases, he reveals his knowledge of Augustine’s biblical exegesis by using Augustinian expressions (§ 2); moreover, many interpretations that can only be found in the works of the bishop of Hippo are found in his writing (§ 3). Eucherius mainly draws on the commentaries on the Book of Psalms and the Gospel of Saint John, but they are not by any means the only ones he refers to.
