Abstract

The paper aims to provide an overview on Augustine’s communication strategies in two specific controversial areas, Donatism and Pelagianism, paying special attention to the rhetorical use of the concepts of “holiness/saints” and “martyrdom/martyrs”. The analysis of the sources will follow the pattern practiced by ancient rhetoric, namely: inuentio, dispositio, elocutio.

L’article vise à fournir une vue d’ensemble sur les stratégies de communication d’Augustin dans deux domaines polémiques, le donatisme et le pélagianisme, en accordant une attention particulière à l’utilisation rhétorique des concepts de « sainteté/saints » et « martyre/martyrs ». L’analyse des sources se déroulera en suivant l’ordre des trois premières étapes suggérées par la rhétorique antique, à savoir : inuentio, dispositio, elocutio.
