Career

Anne-Marie La Bonnardière studied at the Catholic University of Lyon, receiving a degree in Geography and History.[2] She worked at a secondary school in Lyon until it was closed due to the outbreak of the Second World War, after which she moved to teach at the Lycée Français de Barcelone.[2] In Barcelona, she began her research into St. Augustine, benefiting from the library at the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey.[2] In 1947, she returned to France, joining the CNRS in Paris in 1947, working with H.-I. Marrou.[1] She defended her first thesis, 'Recherches de chronologie augustinienne' in 1964, and her second, on the Book of Wisdom in Augustine's writing, in 1970.[1][2]

Scholarship

La Bonnardière's work focused on the influence of the bible on the writings of St Augustine, and made possible the dating of many of Augustine's works.[3] Her research incorporated the historical and social context of St Augustine's work and early Christianity in North Africa.[2] Much of this work was published in volumes under the title Biblia Augustiniana.[1]

She also contributed significantly to projects on the prosopography of late antiquity.[4] Her archives are stored at the library of Sources Chrétiennes.[5]
