HOLLIS on the Latin title returns one record, 'Memorials of St. Anselm' (1969), catalogued as Latin only, whose contents are 'I. Liber Anselmi Archiepiscopi de humanis moribus; II. Alexandri Monachi Cantuariensis Liber ex dictis Beati Anselmi; III. Eadmeri Monachi Cantuariensis Scriptum de Beatitudine perennis vitae; IV. Miscellanea Anselmiana' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Anselm%20De%20humanis%20moribus&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 1 record). A query on the alternative title returns one record, a French translation, 'Entretiens spirituels (De similitudinibus) de Saint Anselme' (Collection Pax 18, 1924) (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Anselm%20De%20similitudinibus&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 By contrast the treatise corpus is translated: 'Anselm: The Complete Treatises' (2022) and the Oxford World's Classics 'Major Works' (1998) (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Anselm%20the%20complete%20treatises%20Williams&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 2 records). No English translation of the Liber de humanis moribus was located.
The Liber de humanis moribus is the record of Anselm's table-talk on the soul, the will and the affections, compiled by his disciples at Bec and Canterbury and long read under his name; it is the longest Anselmian text that has no English version, while every authentic treatise is now in English. Its absence leaves the English reader with Anselm the dialectician and none of Anselm the monastic teacher of morals. No etext was verified.
