The author of the work here directly ascribed to St. Augustine was the mystic theologian Hugo de Sancto Victore (1097-1140), member of the Canons Regular of St. Augustine and head of the abbey school of St. Victor, near Paris.  From his familiarity with the writings of Augustine and likeness to his spirit, he was styled _Alter Augustinus_, a title which furnishes a plausible but not wholly satisfactory explanation of the confusion in the present case.  For among the spurious writings which have been put under Augustine’s name more than one has been borrowed from this author.  For example, chapters 5-10 of the _Liber de diligendo Deo_ are taken almost word for word from the present treatise.

In the present edition of this soliloquy cast in the form of a dialogue the interlocutors are Augustinus and Anima (both names always printed in capitals); in a Strassburg edition of about the same date, Hugo and anima sua; in the collected edition of Hugo’s works, homo and anima.
