DOBELL, Brian, Augustine's Intellectual Conversion. The Journey from Platonism to Christianity. Cambridge University Press, 2009. 268p. Bound. This book examines Augustine's intellectual conversion from Platonism to Christianity, as described at Confessions 7.9.13-21.27. It is widely assumed that this occurred in the summer of 386, shortly before Augustine's volitional conversion in the garden at Milan. Brian Dobell argues, however, that Augustine’s intellectual conversion did not occur until the mid 390s, and develops this claim by comparing Confessions 7.9.13-21.27 with a number of important passages and themes from Augustine's early writings. € 65.00 (New)

DOBROV, G.W., (ed.), Beyond Aristophanes. Transition and Diversity in Greek Comedy. Scholars Press, Atlanta, 1995. XV,209p. Paperback. 'For the most part, the essays are compact, and clearly written. They treat important themes or historical issues, i.e., how comedy used myth, how it did or did not sustain dramatic illusion, what became of the comic chorus. Several of the contributors put forward some possible links between 'Old' and 'Middle' comic drama on the basis of new readings of the fragments. The volume is valuable for these close readings alone. Scholars who have more experience with the material will welcome fresh discussions of these fragments. And undergraduates will find in some of the essays a model of the methodology which the fragments require for their study and understanding.' (TIMOTHY P. HOFMEISTER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.2.2). Contents: H.-G. NESSELRATH: Myth, Parody, and Comic Plots: The Birth of Gods and Middle Comedy (pp.1-29); N.W.
