Fathers of the Church
Letter LII
Description
This letter to his kinsman Severinus, exhorting him to withdraw from the Donatists, was omitted from the printed edition as containing no argument on the Donatist question not found in other letters.
Provenance
The correspondence of St. Augustine that has been preserved includes more than 270 letters, including well over 200 written by him. Those numbered 31-123 span the period from his episcopal ordination until the conference between Catholic and Donatist bishops held in 411.
