In this essay, I first show the almost total absence of references to the Eleatics in Augustine’s works and the scarcity of information that his Latin sources could have provided him. Then I select some distinctive theses of the ontology of the Eleatics, as it emerges from the Diels-Kranz collection of their fragments. I then illustrate the general aspects and the essential contents of Augustinian ontology. Finally, I briefly compare Augustine’s main ideas on being with the previously selected Eleatic theses.
Augustine and Eleatic Ontology

Abstract
In this essay, I first show the almost total absence of references to the Eleatics in Augustine’s works and the scarcity of information that his Latin sources could have provided him. Then I select some distinctive theses of the ontology of the Eleatics, as it emerges from the Diels-Kranz collection of their fragments. I then illustrate the general aspects and the essential contents of Augustinian ontology. Finally, I briefly compare Augustine’s main ideas on being with the previously selected Eleatic theses.
