First line

The Prayers and Meditations themselves give little indication of the sources that formed them; unlike John of Fecamp, Anselm does not quote directly from other writers, and the very form of the prayers prevents direct reference to their teaching; they are the words of a man praying to God, not discussing ideas about Him.
