LIBER PRIMUS

Praemissa Dei invocatione, recolit vitae suae primordia ad annum decimum quintum. Infantiae peccata agnoscit et pueritiae; atque hac aetate in lusum et puerilia quaeque oblectamenta, quam in litterarum studia procliviorem se fuisse confitetur.

The Confessions of St. Augustin In Thirteen Books

Book I.

Commencing with the invocation of God, Augustin relates in detail the beginning of his life, his infancy and boyhood, up to his fifteenth year; at which age he acknowledges that he was more inclined to all youthful pleasures and vices than to the study of letters.
