basiloftuscon's review against another edition
4.0
I will update this as I get through the book. It will show as multiple read throughs (1 for each work). Letter to Lefranc & Monologion: 3.5 stars, monologion can be a bit difficult to read
Proslogion with Replies: 4.5 stars, still chewing on the ontological argument, and I have tended to flip on whether I like that argument or not, but Proslogion is a good read, trying to wrestle with faith and understanding, fighting against our own fallen nature
De Grammatico: 3 stars, not really my cup of tea
On Truth, On Free Will, On the Fall of the Devil: 4.5 stars. On truth wasn't quite my thing, but loved On free will and On the fall of the devil
On the Incarnation of the Word, Why God Became Man, On the Virgin Conception and Original Sin: 5 stars. On the Incarnation of the Word and Why God Became Man were amazing! Easy to follow than some of Anselms other works. Wasn't as big of a fan of On the Virgin Conception and Original Sin, but it was still good.
On the Procession of the Holy Spirit, De Concordia, Philosophical Fragments: 3.5 stars

Anselm is one of what I would call responsible theologians. That is, he very seriously approaches the claims of his faith with an eye toward justifying them philosophically. While I ultimately don't agree with his beliefs, Anselm's work is foundational in the study of the Philosophy of Religion.

I only read On the Incarnation but I promised myself I'd count it as a whole book for Goodreads purposes

I read part of this, I probably won't pick it back up for a very very long time.
