The Praedestinatus is an anonymous work consisting of a catalogue of heresies (based on Augustine’s De haeresibus), a short tract ostensibly written to defend the idea of predestination, and a commentary on this tract which attacks it and denies that such ideas were put forward by Augustine. Close study of the text shows that all three parts were written by the same author, and that the purpose of the Praedestinatus is to attack Augustine’s ideas while appearing to defend him.
This article discusses the authorship of the Praedestinatus, and then examines the content, discussing the role of the catalogue of heresies in book 1, the way in which the author uses and adapts his source material, and the purpose of the catalogue in the overall structure of the work. It goes on to examine the way in which the author uses the supposed predestinationist tract (book 2) to caricature and discredit the idea of predestination, and considers the critique of predestination put forward by the author in book 3, and its place among contemporary reactions to Augustine’s ideas. The article concludes by examining some of the ways in which the Praedestinatus sheds light on the early process of the reception of Augustine’s works.

Arguably the most influential early Christian thinker in the Western part of the Roman Empire, Augustine's impact has reached further than the religious domain and he has become a veritable icon of western culture. OGHRA maps this influence not just in theology, his traditional area of prominence, but far beyond, taking into account fields such as political theory, ethics, music, education, semiotics, literature, philosophy, psychotherapy, religion, and popular culture. Beginning with a detailed introduction, it offers chapter-length discussions and contextualization on the general characteristics of Augustine's reception in various periods, as well as on specific themes as wide-ranging as Islam and gender. OGHRA also surveys the material transmission and intellectual reception of almost all of Augustine's extant works, documented in the light of recent research. The largest part of the volumes comprises around 600 entries which describe, analyse, and evaluate Augustine's influence on a broad variety of key figures and themes through the ages. Edited by Karla Pollmann (Editor-in-Chief), in collaboration with Willemien Otten (Editor) and twenty co-editors, it contains high quality scholarship from over 400 international experts. Offering precise information, with references to both primary and secondary sources, this reference work is unique in the breadth of material covered. It aims to survey the legacy of Augustine and make it available both to specialists and readers from other fields who may be unfamiliar with the scope of his impact.
