In the beginning of book XIII of the Confessions, Augustine interprets the first verses of the Genesis as an entanglement of narratives on the creation of the world, on the emergence of consciousness, and on the history of conversion. To this end, he resorts to Neoplatonic sources as well as to a Christian tradition almost consolidated at that time. One of his sources could have been Mario Victorinus’ Trinity Treatises.
