Saint Anselm of Canterbury and His Legacy

The 22 papers are from an April 2009 conference held in Canterbury to commemorate the 900th anniversary of Anselm’s (1033-1109) death. Among the topics are Queen Matilda and Anselm’s Mary Magdalene, truth as rightness in Anselm and Henry of Ghent, the Middle English versions of his Prayers and Meditations, the reception of his logic in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the cosmontological argument for the existence of God.
