ANSELM , of See also:

Laon (d. 1117), See also:French theologian, was See also:born of very humble parents at Laon before the See also:middle of the 11th See also:century. He is said to have studied under St Anselm at See also:Bee. About 1076 he taught with See also:great success at See also:Paris, where, as the See also:associate of See also:William of See also:Champeaux, he upheld the realistic See also:side of the scholastic controversy. Later he removed to his native See also:place, where his school for See also:theology and exegetics rapidly became the most famous in See also:Europe. He died in 1117. His greatest See also:work, an interlinear See also:gloss on the Scriptures, was one of the great authorities of the middle ages. It has been frequently reprinted. Other commentaries apparently by him have been ascribed to various writers, principally to the great Anselm. A See also:list of them, with See also:notice of Anselm's Iife, is contained in the Histoire litteraire de la See also:France, x. T70-18Q. The See also:works are collected in See also:Migne's Patrologia See also:Latina, tome 16g; some unpublished Sententiae were edited by G.

Lefevre (See also:

Milan, 1894), on which see See also:Haureau in the See also:Journal See also:des savants for 1895.
