The publication “On the City of God” in the ABC of Faith library is based on the text of the “modern edition” [1], which turned out to be available on several sites at once [2] in the same form - with a large number of recognition errors, a number of omissions (whole chapters!) and no indication of those who worked on the digitization. We corrected the text according to the edition of “Aletheia”. In addition, references to Scripture and to ancient writers were checked with the Kyiv edition of the early 20th century[3] (in which another translation[4] and quotations from Scripture are given in Church Slavonic). Discrepancies were resolved according to the Latin original (usually in favor of the Kyiv edition) and noted in the notes. From the same pre-revolutionary edition, for the convenience of the reader, texts were added that introduced books (in petite) and chapters (in italics), and numerous omissions of text in the edition of “Aletheia” were filled in. .In those quite many cases when a quotation from Scripture according to the synodal translation does not confirm the thought of Blessed Augustine (which was most often commented on in a peculiar way by the editor), we have restored the quotations from the Church Slavonic text and removed the notes that had immediately become unnecessary.Editors of the ABC of Faith
