Abstract
Book reading had a crucial role in St Augustine’s life and guided his long and troubled path to conversion. This paper considers various elements present in his works related to reading Holy Scripture and letters in the Monastery of Ippona; however, the focus here is not on Augustine as a reader but on Augustine as promoter of book reading among men who were variously active in political and religious life, but who were all highly cultivated.
