Can anyone reccomend a good commentary on the confessions by St Augustine? I have a report on it due by the end of the month and i just wanted a secondary source for reference. Any sort of analysis or anything would be good, anything you guys have come across?

Its a second year phil course about medieval works. We basically have to write a term paper on a book not discussed in class of our choice. I started reading confessions about 3-4 days ago when really i should have started 2-3 weeks ago. (I should ideally be working on my paper right now) Im reading and taking notes rn for my paper but I just wanted (its not toally necessary) some kind of running commentary to help me engage with the text better.
