54. Anselm exempts Christ's human nature from the necessity for such education; he contends that it was omniscient, because no purpose would be served by the divine Word's assuming our ignorance, in addition to our ability to die. See Cur Deus Homo 2.13 (S ii: 112.16–113.18).

55. Here I make allowances for prodigies such as Mozart, who seem to require much less education.

56. For example, in De Libero Arbitrio 2.11; Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum 74, 6.
