There are actually two works in question here which are
often confused. Augustine wrote a work usually referred to
as "Soliloquiorum libri duo" or simply as "Soliloquia."
This work can be found in PL 32 and has been recently
translated, although offhand I cannot remember the
publisher. The "Soliloquia animae ad Deum," which I
believe is in PL 40, is not by Augustine, although it is
frequently attributed to him in medieval sources. Hope
this helps.
