Dante I had not problem with. But Augustine... the biographical stuff 
wasn't too bad, but the theology has dry reading. He makes Aquinas look 
like a coffee-table book. What I can remember best is "Tolle lege... tolle 
lege..."

Important for the foundations he built, but still a bit dense.

And then there's Erasmus...
