介绍（中）	本卷是包含圣奥古斯丁上帝之城（De Civitate Dei）拉丁语的完整西班牙语翻译的三卷之一，该译本写于 5 世纪初，在西哥特人洗劫罗马之后。北非河马主教奥古斯丁（Augustine）发展了教会的概念，即上帝的精神天堂之城，与物质的尘世人类之城形成鲜明对比。即使在动乱时期，人也应该把目光投向天上的耶路撒冷，而不是地上的政治事务，因为最终帝国会垮台，只有上帝会得胜。虽然这篇论文是由物质和精神的冲突构成的，但奥古斯丁在二十二章中偏离了对异教宗教的缺陷、罗马人的败坏、原罪、上帝和人类城市的本质以及许多其他主题的讨论。在这本西班牙文手稿《上帝之城》中，每一章或每一本书的文本都以一个主要的装饰首字母开头，通篇充满了丰富的边缘，并以对前文的简要阐述或解释结束
介绍（英）	This volume is one of three containing the complete Spanish translation from the Latin of Saint Augustine’s City of God (De Civitate Dei), written in the early fifth century, after the sack of Rome by the Visigoths. Augustine, bishop of Hippo in North Africa, developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual heavenly City of God in contrast to the material earthly City of Man. Even in times of upheaval, man should fix his eyes on the heavenly Jerusalem rather than on earthly political matters, for in the end, empires would fall, and God alone would triumph. While the thesis is framed by this conflict of the material and the spiritual, Augustine digressed throughout the twenty-two chapters into discussions of the flaws of pagan religions, the turpitude of the Romans, original sin, the natures of the Cities of God and Man, and many other themes. In this Spanish manuscript copy of the City of God, the text of each chapter or book begins with a major decorated initial, is enriched with abundant marginalia throughout, and ends with a brief exposition or interpretation of the preceding text
