391. Migliore’s textbook on theology builds on Anselm’s theme, “What distinguishes theology from blind assent is just its special character as ‘faith seeking understanding’” (Faith Seeking Understanding, 2). Anselm continued in his Preface, “In my judgment, neither this work nor the other, which I mentioned above, deserved to be called a book, or to bear the name of an author; and yet I thought they ought not to be sent forth without some title by which they might, in some sort, invite one into whose hands they fell to their perusal. I accordingly gave each a title, that the first might be known as, An Example of Meditation on the Grounds of Faith, and its sequel as, Faith Seeking Understanding. But, after both had been copied by many under these titles, many urged me, and especially Hugo, the reverend Archbishop of Lyons, who discharges the apostolic office in Gaul, who instructed me to this effect on his apostolic authority—to prefix my name to these writings. And that this might be done more fitly, I named the first, Monologium, that is, A Soliloquy; but the second, Proslogium, that is, A Discourse” (Deane, Works of St. Anslem, 2). Thus the great error of theology was set, and has become implacable.
