Tagging note

This file is for the saint. 071.0002 rightly carries it: after Luke 7:47 («Remittum ei peccata multa quoniam dilexit multum (Luc)») Marie copies «Dulciores sunt lacrymae orantium quam gaudia theatrorum», a saying attributed to Augustine. The tags at 079.0007, 079.0339 and 085.0490 are about the Paris church of Saint-Augustin, «l'église bonapartiste» (079.0339), and belong to Église Saint-Augustin; those at 073/1877-08-15, 081.0098, 082/1878-08-31 and 085.0453 were not checked. Retags listed in OPEN-ITEMS (B-64 (4)).
