De videndo Deo
[edit]De videndo Deo lit. 'On Seeing God' is the title given to a letter written by Augustine of Hippo regarding whether God can be physically perceived. [1] It is also known by the title De uidendo deo and designated as epistula 147 in the Augustinus-Lexikon. [2]
The letter is addressed to Paulina, and it has 54 chapters.
It is estimated to have been written between 412 and 413 AD. [2]
Augustine claims that testimony, including divine revelation, [2]: 202 can lead to knowledge, specifically scientia.[2]: 9–10, 48 [3]
Thomas Aquinas refers to De videndo Deo in Summa Theologica. [4]
