medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hello Sue,

The Liber exhortationis ... ad quendam comitem by Paulinus Aquileiensis († 802) has been attributed for long time to Augustine.

We can read (§ 23) the quoted words under the false attribution to Augustine still in 1837 by clicking on the following link:
https://books.google.fr/books?id=xldFAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1537#v=onepage&q&f=false

Attribution to Paulinus Aquileiensis was already acquired before 1864:
https://books.google.fr/books?id=kglRAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA219#v=onepage&q&f=false

A beautiful manuscript (written ca 900)  of this Liber exhortationis is available on-line
https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/searchresult/list/one/csg/0138

Hope this will help.

Best,

AYB

Thank you, Andre. 
Could you give me the reference for this -- and also, is there any connection to Augustine, to whom the witness attributes these words?

Hello Sue,

"Virtus est animæ tuæ omnem delectationem carmis subjicere, et mentem tuam ad Christum erigere"

From Liber Exhortationis by Paulinus Aquileiensis,

Others virtues seem to me being a sort of catalogue of hagiographical topoï.

Best from

Hello all

One of the witnesses in the Cantilupe canonization process which I'm editing stated that 

"se legisse quod beatus Augustinus, ad comendationem uite sanctorum, notabat quod in eis concurrebant puritas carnis, penitentia de peccatis, humilitas mentis, feruor caritatis, exercitatio bonorum operum, patientia in aduersis, omnem delectationem carnis subicere et mentem ad Christum dirigere ..." pointing out that Cantilupe had possessed all these qualities.

Does anyone know where Augustine said this, or something very like it? Or where the witness, a Dominican, might have read it? 

thank you!

Sue
