[ACastellano]

The article states that the Ontological Proof indeed originated with Anselm but should of gave nod to Avicenna. While Avicenna's formation of the proof is doubted by many I have noticed the doubters I encounter submerse themselves in Western philosophical thought and tend to ignore alternative schools of thought. All those I encounter who give Avicenna due credit are often well read in both eastern and western philosophy or an Islamic philosopher. Article is excellent otherwise. I just felt that it was wrong to pinpoint the origin to Anselm alone.
