Abstract

The article discusses recent archival research by Stephen Kearns, which has uncovered the lost autograph of Drosslogion, a work by medieval philosopher LeMans that served as the basis for Anselm's parody of the "ontological argument." Kearns reconstructs LeMans's argument and argues that Anselm provides a direct reply to it in his work, suggesting that Anselm rejects the possibility of conceiving a being greater than all actual things.
