This is the first book to consider all aspects of the life of Agostino Steffani (1654-1728), a composer, diplomat, and bishop. A remarkable figure of the late 17th and early 18th century Europe, Steffani began his career as a composer, musician, and courtier, but his accomplishments brought him high-level positions in the courts of Germany and the Catholic Church. Throughout his diplomatic and ecclesiatical career, Steffani continued to compose chamber music, vocal chamber music, operas, and sacred music--works which inspired Handel and other Baroque composers.

The second section, «Literature and Language», focuses on studies dealing with literary and linguistic aspects of the work. The third section, «Philosophy and Theology», analyzes Augustine's views in The City of God on subjects ranging from the idea of progress to Neoplatonism and from the origin of society to the role of political authority. A complete list of writings by Augustine as well as a general bibliography are included.
