More than 500 bishops were invited to attend a trial in Carthage in 411 that terminated the 100-year-old Donatist schism. The extensive records of the trial, which are largely preserved, provide valuable insight into church history. They are presented here in a critical edition, together with two texts by Augustine that summarize the events of the trial.

Klappentext

The Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL) is an academic series that publishes critical editions of Latin works by late-antique Christian authors from the time of the late 2nd century until the beginning of the 7th century. The editions are prepared in cooperation with internationally renowned experts according to modern editorial techniques and are meant to serve as textual basis for scholarly disciplines dealing with Late Antiquity. The volumes are published by the scientific institution "CSEL", which was founded in 1864 by the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and which is part of the University of Salzburg since 2012. In addition, monographs on topics related to the Latin patristic period and conference proceedings are published at irregular intervals (Extra Seriem).
