I'm tempted to buy the March Madness offer of Anselm's works. However, I find the number of pages in strange: Only 288 pages?

Does anyone know if's this is a shortened edition?

    It only has Proslogium; Monologium; The debate by Gaunilon; and Cur Deus Homo, together with some introductory material. In the 11th century, people wrote concisely!

    It's by no means all of Anselm's works, though I think the claim to be his major works is reasonable. The complete works are available in PDF (free!), but not in Logos.

    This is not the edition from Oxford University Press. The edition for sale from Logos is from Open Court Publishing (Chicago) and trans by Sidney Norton Deane. It only includes the Proslogium; Monologium; An Appendix in behalf of the fool; and Cur Deus Homo.

    I have the work and it is 288 pp, plus 29 pages of introductory material.
