Die Dialogform verhilft zu besserem Verstandnis, da auch Einwande hervorgebracht und diskutiert werden. Die Antwort auf die Frage ergibt sich aus dem ganzen Werk und ist als Ergebnis des gesamten Gesprachsverlaufs zu sehen. Einzelaussagen sind immer im Kontext des ganzen Dialogs zu interpretieren.

Anselm stellt ganz an den Anfang seiner Arbeit die Einschrankungen, dass alles, was er sagt, auch ein Weiserer vervollstandigen oder verbessern kann und dass solch ein Thema noch tiefere Grunde in sich birgt, als es ein Mensch uberhaupt offenbare.

In 2 Books containing respectively 25 and 20 chapters, the text takes the form of a dialogue between Anselm and his student Boso, a monk at Bec, who had asked Anselm to write on the subject. Star of the Show, plus Acolyte. Later, Boso was abbot at Bec from to , where Anselm had served as abbot.

Like many medieval works, it [the treatise] is in dialogue form; Boso asks the questions, and Anselm provides the answers. The progress of the argument demands that Boso be continually mistaken and corrected. Boso is the dummy, often obtuse, allowing Anselm to chide him, defeat his views and continue in a teacher-to-student relation. While scholastic theology may seem dry and lifeless to us now, it was thrilling stuff to the intelligentsia of the day, both life-affirming and life-threatening.

While the onomastics remain questionable in fine scholastic fettle , this explanation makes for a good story. Similar treatment pertains to other texts in dialogue form. For example, it navigates a path through the Dialogues of Gregory the Great, in which Gregory and his disciple Peter converse, with the master relating the stories of inspirational holy men and the disciple responding with questions, observations, and formulations of the moral of the stories, all the better to showcase the insights of the great man.

That Initial is distinguished by means of one or two lowset dots, much as medieval practice would set off roman numerals from the body of the text employing similar letter-forms customarily by a dot or a pair of dots. A similar dot follows the Initials in lines ra7 and rb1, while the B in line ra3 has none, so that the punctuating dot and the elevated height of the letter must suffice as a recognition sign.

The manuscript witnesses demonstrate a circulation of the text, already early in its existence, on its own as a small book or booklet or in company of other works, by Anselm or sometimes by others. Other cases, including early witnesses, reveal their characteristics by several ways, even when they now stand alone or in fragments.

The course of the original text establishes which side was the recto, which the verso. The portion on the fragment represents part of 1 or 2 chapters near the end of Book II, depending upon the numbering systems adopted by different editions.

These differences seem to reflect the different approaches in the manuscripts. Laid out in double columns of 35 lines, the text flows without fanfare in rb29—30 from chapter to chapter or between sub-chapters , without a chapter title or enhanced opening for the succeeding one. The first lines of the verso are mostly covered by the pasted pulpy fibers of the stiffener employed in the secondary use of the leaf as a limp cover with flap closure.

Provided the text in the manuscript corresponded with the printed edition s , we might expect the preceding leaf to have ended with the words et iterum , and the following leaf to have begun with — initatis melior.
