Readership: Scholars and students of biblical textual criticism; of Augustine; or early church theology and history
Hugh Houghton, Research Fellow in Theology, University of Birmingham
"An invaluable and groundbreaking work...This is a superb piece of scholarship which has significantly enriched and advanced multiple fields of study." - Paul Foster. The Journal of Theological Studies
"Houghton's very learned study is skillfully executed, highly enlightening, and extremely valuable for anyone working with the biblical text of Augustine." - Roland J. Teske, Journal of Early Christian Studies.
"Houghton's study is a substantial achievement and will prove to be a standard reference in a number of fields... Houghton deftly blends his own research agenda with a keen attention to numerous adjoining questions, making this study a necessary tool not only for those concerned with reception history of the Old Latin text type but for anyone concerned with cognate fields." - Evan F. Kuehn, Wheaton College.
