S. Augustines Manuell, or Litle Booke of the Contemplation of Christ, originally published in 1577, offers a window into the religious thought and spiritual practices of the late 16th century. Attributed to Augustine of Hippo, though likely a later compilation of his ideas, this manual provides guidance on contemplating the life and teachings of Christ. The book reflects the theological concerns of its time and offers readers insight into the devotional life of early modern Christians.
This work is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of Christian spirituality, the development of Christology, and the reception of Augustine's writings in the Reformation era. Its enduring appeal lies in its exploration of timeless themes of faith, devotion, and the pursuit of a closer relationship with God.
