Anselm writes the Proslogion
1078
At the Norman abbey of Bec where he was prior, Anselm composed the Proslogion containing his ontological proof of God's existence, arguing that even a fool conceiving of a maximally great being must concede such a being must exist. Theologians have been debating the argument ever since, in every generation.
