References

1 There are in all twenty works or types of works (such as letters), not counting the Waleramni epistola ad Anselmum, which is listed among the abbreviations in spite of editorial decision to omit letters addressed to Anselm but to which I could find no reference, and the work with the symbol Cv, which is not in the list of abbreviations and which I could not check, not having Schmitt's edition to hand.

2 This is a guess based on an estimate of the number of headings in the Finding List, which includes proper names, variant spellings and forms of the same word, and a few made-up words (see below).

3 It does not include the ‘statistical ranking list’ mentioned in the flyer, which would have been useful. The figures below for words with several forms are based on my own rough counts.

4 The occurrences of solidos, all in Anselm's letters, refer to the coin, whereas the nine occurrences of solidae, solidam, solidissime, solidius, and solidum are the adjective.

5 Quave appears as a word in both the Finding List and the Reverse Index and is not included in the entry for the enclitic -ve.

6 Such as Poenito (Poeniteo), Mortalits (Mortalitas, repeated), and Vers (Virus) in headings in the Finding List, where Urso should be Ursus.
