De videndo Deo (lit. 'On Seeing God') is an epistle written by Augustine of Hippo regarding whether God can be physically perceived.[1] It is designated epistle 147 in the Augustinus-Lexikon.[2] The letter is addressed to Paulina, the wife of Armentarius,[3] and it has 54 chapters. It is estimated to have been written between 412 and 413 AD.[2]
Augustine claims that testimony, including divine revelation,[2]: 202 can lead to knowledge, specifically scientia.[2]: 9–10, 48 [4]
Thomas Aquinas refers to De videndo Deo in Summa Theologica.[5]
