Notes:
What is to be thought of St. Anselm? That question is likely to recur with the approaching completion of the new and definitive edition of Anselm's works by the Scottish firm of Nelson. This paper attempts to give a limited answer by a fresh consideration of Anselm's character, with special reference to his Meditations and Prayers.Anselm is generally acknowledged to be one of the great thinkers of medieval Christendom. His powers as a meta-physician are amply displayed in his Monologion and Proslogion, while his Cur Deus Homo marks one of the milestones in the Church's progressive apprehension of the mystery of the Atonement. So powerful indeed is the impact of these treatises that Anselm has been compared with St. Augustine. Augustinus redivivus is a proud title; but Anselm has been thought worthy to bear it.
