Of course Augustine was written about by the person who knew him best—himself.
To: Verginius Rufus
Only the first half of his life. The second half including his death was written about by his friend Possidius, bishop of Calama.

Thanks for bringing Possidius'
Life of Augustine to my attention. I just read it and found that Augustine practiced Pence's Rule:
"...if some women asked to see or greet them, they never came to him except with some of the clerics as witnesses, and he never spoke to them alone, even if it was a matter of secrecy." (from chapter 26)
To: Verginius Rufus
"...if some women asked to see or greet them, they never came to him except with some of the clerics as witnesses, and he never spoke to them alone, even if it was a matter of secrecy." (from chapter 26)
Nice. We're about to republish Paulinus's Life of Saint Ambrose which is also a great read. Those were truly fascinating times.
