EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases two fragments of parchment leaves taken from a ninth-century copy of St. Augustine's seminal work, "De Libero Arbitrio" or "On Free Choice of Will." The fragments, both hailing from Book 3, are not derived from the same leaf, providing a tantalizing glimpse into the rich history of this medieval manuscript. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD), a renowned theologian and philosopher, penned De Libero Arbitrio in response to the pressing question of the time: Does human beings possess the power to make free choices, or are they subject to divine predestination? This philosophical and theological treatise, which is considered one of the most influential works in Western thought, has left an indelible mark on the development of Christian theology and ethics. These fragments, preserved for over a thousand years, offer a rare and intimate look into the past. The Latin script, penned in a careful, flowing hand, is testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the scribe. The parchment, which has aged with the passage of time, bears the folds, creases, and discoloration that speak to its storied history. These fragments serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the written word and the invaluable role that libraries and archives play in preserving our collective intellectual heritage. The UCL Library Services Digital Collections, in partnership with Mary Evans Prints Online, offers us a precious opportunity to explore and learn from the past, one fragment at a time.
