Chapter 4: The Theological And Philosophical "Matrixes" Of The Trilogy


As we have already seen in the previous chapters, the recalls with a Christian and Gnostic background are countless, excluding the philosophies connected to the development of the trilogy.

The theological matrix, which summarizes both the religious and philosophical aspects, is the Augustinism.
