Our Intellectual Heritage
Continuing the scholarly legacy of Mgr. Henri-Nicolas Sylvestre Guillon, Père Armand-Benjamin Caillau and Père Jacques Paul Migne begun in 1849, the Collegium Augustinianum was formally chartered in 1999 by some of the leading Augustinian scholars in the world who formed a College of Fellows to advance the thought of St. Augustine of Hippo and the venerable Augustinian tradition in Western philosophy and theology. 

The College of Fellows of the Collegium Augustinianum established research centers in Europe and in the United States, including some of the world's most illustrious scholars like Tarcisius Van Bavel, O.S.A. (Leuven), Frederick Van Fleteren (Villanova), Roland J. Teske, S.J. (Marquette) and Vincent Zarini (Paris). 

The Collegium Augustinianum established the Bandy Collection of Classical Greek, Latin and Byzantine Studies in 2013, now a permanent collection at the historic Athenaeum of Philadelphia on Washington Square in Society Hill of Philadelphia (USA), in memory of our late renowned Fellow, The Rev. Prof. Anastasius Bandy, who was an eminent Greek and Latin scholar. 

Through our Fellows and faculty, our students enjoy a venerable intellectual lineage that connects them with Augustinian luminaries like Tarcisius J. van Bavel, John J. O’Meara, Pierre Courcelle,  Jacques Paul Migne and many others through the ages.
