An edition, translation and analysis of Ralph of Battle’s theological treatise De creatore et creatura et quid inter se differunt creaturae. Ralph (1040–1124) was a student of Lanfranc at Le Bec and subsequently at Caen. An intimate of Saint Anselm and a prolific writer himself, he served as chaplain to Lanfranc, prior of Caen and Rochester, and abbot of Battle. In this text, Ralph develops a theology of creation and a theological anthropology, discussing topics such as the ontological difference between creator and creature; the hierarchy of creatures; the human creature as a composite of body and soul; our relationship to non-rational creatures, to the angels and to the creator; our knowledge of God and the incomprehensibility of the divine nature.
