Anselm of Canterbury and the Desire for the Word

Notes on the Text

xv Notes on the Text Full bibliographical information for editions of Anselm’s works cited using abbreviations is available in the bibliography. All translations of Anselm’s works are my own unless otherwise noted, though I have consulted a number of available English translations also listed in the bibliography. References to works in the existing critical edition of Anselm’s works edited by F.S.Schmitt use the abbreviated title of the work given above, the book, chapter, section number, and the volume in Schmitt’s critical edition (e.g., S I= Schmitt, vol.
