Lack of understanding of the ontological view

Hello Rabbi,
When Anselm wrote in defining the concept of God.
“Nothing greater than this can be imagined.”
So in fact he wanted to claim that God is conceivable, right?
But that’s not the case… so what does that mean?
thanks!

Why is it not so? Its concept can be conceived (thought of). You will not see it as a visual appearance. So what? After all, if you believe it, it is itself a conception of its concept, otherwise you do not believe in it.
