Augustinian Historical Institute

Alphabetum Augustinianum is a dedicated site within the Order of Saint Augustine’s official web presence, overseen by the Augustinian Historical Institute. Its mission is to share the richness of our history, brought to life through both our institutions and the people who have shaped them. The site is organized into four main sections: Provinces, Houses-Convents, People (Biographies), and Hagiography, making it easy to explore the Order’s heritage from multiple perspectives.

​

We invite contributions from all who wish to participate. Articles should be signed and dated, written for a general audience, and limited to a maximum of two pages including references. Contributions may be in Spanish, English, Italian, or French, and other languages are welcome if accompanied by a brief summary in one of the accepted languages.

​

Inspired by the Augustinian insight that “a person grows by learning and diminishes by forgetting,” Alphabetum Augustinianum is intended as a space of encounter and service—where memory is preserved, brought to life, and transformed into knowledge. Here, we continue the practice of learning by teaching and teaching by learning (St. Augustine, In Ps. 118, 17, 3).
