Description: Augustine’s Soliloquia contain some considerations about literature as ‘fiction’, which seem not yet to have attracted the attention of the interpreters. This article highlights these considerations and examines whether and to what extent they are applicable, in a self-reflexive manner, to the Soliloquia themselves understood as fake dialogue. The article refers in particular to the concept of mythical fiction and tries to interpret it in the light of the distinction between history, sham and myth made by Cicero in his De inuentione.
