The intent of the present work is chiefly the presentation of a
running commentary, preponderantly historical in complexion, on the
detail of the text of St. Anselm's dialogue De Grammatico. At the
same time the making intelligible of that text has demanded the
concurrent proffering of logical elucidations. The framework
adopted for the latter is the Ontology of S. Lesniewski. The
unsuitability of other current systems of logic for the analysis of
medieval doctrines has been suggested in HLM I. Hereunder the line
of analyses proposed in HDG (an introduc tory study of De
Grammatico) will for the most part be maintained, with only a few
modifications. Changes which further study might demand would in
any case involve not so much an abrogation of the HDG ver sions,
but rather certain complications of detail on the lines indicated
in HLM, HEE, and Hoi. Readers who happen to be out of sympathy
either with modem logic as a whole, or with the Lesniewskian
systems in particular, may be assured that the historical thread of
the commentary remains for the most part unaffected by issues
connected with such logics. Much of the historical material
contained in the commentary consists of quotations from the logical
works of Boethius. Some of that material may at first sight appear
prosaic and tedious."
