# Possidius reports that Augustine left a public library of his works at Hippo as the siege closed

Date: 430

## The fact

Possidius, writing after the death, describes Augustine's library and a list of works at Hippo. The instrument is that left collection as a public education object. NPNF English is a carrier. Augustine of Hippo's documented role is: Possidius describes a collection and an indiculus. Copyists after 430 saved what they saved. He did not typeset NPNF. Medium on unique survival coefficients through the sack.

## Context

Possidius is the named biographer-bishop. Sharing preservation with unnamed copyists is required. Retractationes is Augustine's own review. The Champaigne canvas is not a catalogue. UNESCO landscapes of Roman Africa are not his act. The setting of Possidius reports that Augustine left a public library of his works at Hippo as the siege closed is the public file around 0430-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Significance

Improving path from Possidius reports that Augustine left a public library of his works at Hippo as the siege closed on 0430-01-01. A bishop's left library is an education-preservation path of medium weight. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not store 1886 Schaff as 430. The siege-death is the neighbouring harm row. Retractationes is the author's own index. Mixed effects of Possidius reports that Augustine left a public library of his works at Hippo as the siege closed are separate paths.

Shared responsibility is part of Possidius reports that Augustine left a public library of his works at Hippo as the siege closed. Naming Augustine of Hippo does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 0430-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
