Description

"After a few exhausting hours in front of the shop windows and on the street stalls, I sought refuge in a small bookstore with old books. On its shelves, it had a humble collection of manuscripts, among which I discovered a red cardboard box labeled 'Codex Floriae'. Something must have caught my attention, because I carefully opened it and took in my hands the few handwritten papers it contained. They were certainly old, ancient even, and I soon realized that the text was in Latin.
"Then an idea crossed my mind. Could the letter in the red box have been written by the woman with whom Augustinus had spent many years? The woman he had been forced to abandon, as he himself writes, because he decided to spend the rest of his life completely detached from carnal love? I felt a shiver run down my spine. Because I knew that the tradition about Augustinus has no other information about this unfortunate woman or the years she spent with the great theologian, apart from what he himself mentions in his Confessions."
