For those who reading Augustine’s Confessions (and if you haven’t—well, tolle lege!), below is a chart I reconstructed from a helpful chronological mapping of the book (i.e., the first 9 chapters, or “books”) produced by Stanford’s Thomas Sheehan. The subjects are from Garry Will’s translation. I also put together a simple Google Map marking some of the key locations

| 1 | Childhood | 15 years | 354-369 | 0-15 | Thagaste, Madaura |
| 2 | Sin | 1 year | 370 | 15/16 | Thagaste |
