Augustine of Hippo (354–430) defined God aliud, aliud valde, meaning 'other, completely other', in Confessions 7.10.16, [54] wrote Si [enim] comprehendis, non est Deus, [55] meaning 'if you understand [something], it is not God', in Sermo 117.3.5 [56] (PL 38, 663), [57] [58] and a famous legend tells that, while walking along the ...
