These themes in the writing of Anselm’s contemporaries
-
These themes in the writing of Anselm’s predecessors with obvious connection to their later usage in Anselmian contexts
-
Wider application of these themes in architecture, art-history and archaeological contexts.
We are also keen, alongside the main theme for the conference, to encourage proposals for papers relating to vibrant and engaging research on all aspects of the life, thought, and legacy of Anselm, which might include, but are not limited to:
-
Hagiography, relics, miracles and healing
-
The geographical contexts of Anselm’s writing
-
Anselm’s early readers and his spheres of philosophical and political influence.
