Anne-Marie La Bonnardière (1906–1998) was a scholar of St Augustine, known for her work on the influence of the bible on St Augustine's writing.[1]
Anne-Marie La Bonnardière studied at the Catholic University of Lyon, receiving a degree in Geography and History.[2] She worked at a secondary school in Lyon until it was closed due to the outbreak of the Second World War, after which she moved to teach at the Lycée Français de Barcelone.[2] In Barcelona, she began her research into St. Augustine, benefiting from the library at the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey.[2] In 1947, she returned to France, joining the CNRS in Paris in 1947, working with H.-I. Marrou.[1] She defended her first thesis, 'Recherches de chronologie augustinienne' in 1964, and her second, on the Book of Wisdom in Augustine's writing, in 1970.[1][2]
