ABSTRACT
In his Confessions, St. Augustine wrote his famous words on the past, the present and the future, but he was as puzzled by space as he was by time. Man ‘dwells in space, both head and feet’, 1 in space that is ‘extended and immense’. 2 St. Augustine enters ‘the spacious halls of memory’ and considers the extensions of time. 3 For him, time and space remain tightly connected and, in his text, the notion of spatium refers to both of them.
