Liber de similitudinibus

Anonyme Sammlung von Aussprüchen [221]. Nicht lange nach Anselms Tod bereits in England zirkulierend [221]. "Under this title it had in the later Middle Ages an immense success." [Southern (1966), 221].

"The De Similitudinibus, after an obscure start, reached a wide audience with der status of genuine work of Anselm - which in substance it was, though Anselm had never seen it" [Southern (1966), 391].
