_Mariale_, or poems in honour of the Blessed Virgin, has been
carefully edited by P. Ragey (Tournai, 1885); the _Monologion_ and
_Proslogion_, by C.E. Ubaghs (Louvain, 1854; Eng. trans. by S.N.
Deane, Chicago, 1903); the _Meditationes_, many of which are wrongly
attributed to Anselm, have been frequently reprinted, and were
included in Methuen's _Library of Devotion_ (London, 1903).

The best criticism of Anselm's philosophical works is by J.M. Rigg
(London, 1896), and Domet de Verges (_Grands Philosophes_ series,
Paris, 1901). For a complete bibliography, see A. Vacant's
_Dictionnaire de theologie_.

ANSELM, of Laon (d. 1117), French theologian, was born of very humble
parents at Laon before the middle of the 11th century. He is said to
have studied under St Anselm at Bec. About 1076 he taught with great
success at Paris, where, as the associate of William of Champeaux, he
upheld the realistic side of the scholastic controversy. Later he
removed to his native place, where his school for theology and exegetics
rapidly became the most famous in Europe. He died in 1117. His greatest
work, an interlinear 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 list of them, with notice of Anselm's
life, is contained in the _Histoire litteraire de la France_, x.
170-189.

The works are collected in Migne's _Patrologia Latina_, tome 162; some
unpublished _Sententiae_ were edited by G. Lefevre (Milan, 1894), on
which see Haureau in the _Journal des savants_ for 1895.

ANSELME (Father Anselme of the Virgin Mary) (1625-1694), French
genealogist, was born in Paris in 1625. As a layman his name was Pierre
Guibours. He entered the order of the barefooted Augustinians on the
31st of March 1644, and it was in their monastery (called the Couvent
des Petits Peres, near the church of Notre-Dame des Victoires) that he
died, on the 17th of January 1694. He devoted his entire life to
genealogical studies. In 1663 he published _Le Palais de l'honneur_,
which besides giving the genealogy of the houses of Lorraine and Savoy,
is a complete treatise on heraldry, and in 1664 _Le Palais de la
gloire_, dealing with the genealogy of various illustrious French and
European families. These books made friends for him, the most intimate
