The Soliloquies of Augustine is a two-book document written in 386–387 AD[1] by the Christian theologian Augustine of Hippo.[2]
The book has the form of an "inner dialogue" in which questions are posed, discussions take place and answers are provided, leading to self-knowledge.[3] The first book begins with an inner dialogue which seeks to know a soul. In the second book it becomes clear that the soul Augustine wants to get to know is his own.[4]
A translation of the first half of the Soliloquies into Old English is attributed to Alfred the Great, where it is known as the Blostman ('bloom') or Anthology.
