medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Terrence, I don't know if it is part of a larger series, but researching an earlier sermon of St Augustine this spring (no. 231) I came across John E. Rotelle, ed., Edmund Hill, trans., The Works of St Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century. Sermons III/7 (230-272B) on the Liturgical Seasons (New Rochelle, NY: New City Press, 1993). I can't vouch, though, for how authoritative this book (or series) might be.
