Abstract

Two distinct series of miniatures are identified accompanying early manuscripts of St Anselm's Prayers. Both originate in the circle of the author himself but register his changing attitudes in a turbulent period of his life. The first c.1100 is political and strongly pro-papal, the second c.1104 focuses on the individual's experience of God.
