Prayers and Meditations

St. Anselm of Canterbury

This book is in Portuguese.

The prayers and meditations that circulate under Anselm’s name, in the order of the Gerberon–Migne edition (Patrologia Latina 158, 1853): the prayers to God, to Christ, to the Cross and to Our Lady and the saints, and the twenty-one meditations. Only a core of them, nineteen prayers and three meditations, is Anselm’s own by the verdict of the critical edition; the rest come from John of Fécamp, Ekbert of Schönau and other writers. Latin only, from a machine-corrected OCR.

Contents

Source: Every prayer and meditation as Migne prints them, with Gerberon’s summaries (in italics). The Migne order and numbers are kept; the prayers that are not Anselm’s own are not marked. PL page breaks, columns and variant notes are dropped.
