The term 'Augustinianism' has been used by scholars for over a
century to refer to trends in medieval philosophy, theology, and
politics, which had a major effect on the transformations of
European culture and society from the Middle Ages to the onset of
modernity. Yet in each of these three disciplines 'Augustinianism'
means something different, and the lack of clarity only increases
when the debates over the relationship between a late medieval
Augustinianism and Martin Luther are considered as well. Based on
historical, philological, and iconographic analysis, this study
adopts a hermeneutical approach drawn from philosophical
hermeneutics, religious studies, and literary and sociological
theory to argue for a historical, as distinct from a philosophical
or theological referent for the term 'Augustinianism'. The
interpretation of Augustine and of a late medieval Augustinianism
can only be based historically on the newly created image of
Augustine discerned in the writings of the Augustinian Hermits in
the early fourteenth century. Recognising the diverse dimensions of
this created image is requisite to a historical understanding of
Augustine's late medieval reception and impact. Understanding
Augustine as a 'created' saint has implications for a wider
understanding of Augustine's influence stretching on beyond the
later Middle Ages up until the present day.
