The first three Books teach the discovery of meaning: the knowledge of languages, of nature and of number, of the useful part of pagan learning, and the rules for reading what is figurative or obscure. The fourth teaches its expression, turning the eloquence Augustine once sold in the schools to the service of the Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sanctified Souls Press edition sets the complete text of the Preface and the four Books in the translation of J.
