Archbishop Anselm 1093-1109
Bec Missionary, Canterbury Primate, Patriarch of Another World
Sally N. Vaughn
Exploring Anselm's thirty years as Prior and Abbot of the large, rich, Norman monastery of Bec, and teacher in its school, this book notes the wealth of experiences which prepared Anselm for his archiepiscopal career--in particular Bec's missionary attitude toward England. Vaughn examines Anselm's intellectual strengths as a teacher, philosopher and theologian: exploring his highly regarded theological texts, including his popular Prayers and Meditations, and how his statesmanship was influenced as he dealt with conflict with the antagonistic King William Rufus. The final section includes a selection of original source material including archiepiscopal letters drawn primarily from Lambeth Palace Library.
