Anselm (6)
Anselm
St., called Baduarius after the name of his family (Badagio), was born at Milan, 1036. He succeeded, in 1061, his uncle, Pope Alexander II, as bishop of Lucca, which see he resigned in order to be. come a monk at Clugny. He returned to his see at the express order of Pope Gregory VI, who employed him for important embassies, and made him a cardinal. He tried to prevail on the canons of his cathedral church to submit to the common life, but met with so decided a resistance that he had to leave again his see. Leo IX sent him as his legate to Lombardy, where he died at Mantua, March 18, 1086. He wrote an apology of Gregory VII, a refutation of the claims of the anti-pope Guibert, and a treatise against the right of the secular princes to dispose of the property of the church. The two former may be found in Canisins, Antiquae Lectiones, and in the Bibl. Patrum. The life of Anselm was written by the Jesuit Bota (Notiz di San Anselmo, Verona, 1773, 8vo).

Anselm (2)
a name common to several archbishops OF MILAN, of whom we name the following:
1. ANSELM BILIUS (814-822), who was exiled with other bishops on account of the part he took in the conspiracy of Bernard. He was, however, restored again, and crowned, in 821, king Lothar, at Monza.
2. ANSELM CAPRA (823-897), who crowned, in 888, Berengarius, at Pavia, as king of Italy.
3. ANSELM OF RAUDE (1086-1093), was a faithful adherent of the pope and opponent of Henry IV, and crowned his rebellious son Conrad in 1093.
4. ANSELM VALVASOR (1097-1101), second successor to the former, and also a papal adherent. In 1098 he held a large synod, went to the Holy Land, but returned in 1099. The second time he took the cross to join the crusades, but died at Constantinople.
5. ANSELM OF PUSTERLA (1123-1135), refused to accept the pallium from the hands of Honorius II. He crowned, in 1128, Conrad, the rival of Lothair, in consequence of which he was put under the ban by the pope, together with Conrad. When Anacletus II was elected antipope, Anselm sided with him, and accepted the pallium from the hands of his legate. The legitimate pope replied with an interdict, which only increased the confusion, since Anselm inflicted ecclesiastical punishment upon faithful adherents of the pope. At last the people of Milan expelled Anselm, in 1133, and the council held at Pisa in 1135 confirmed the act of the people of Milan. While on his way to the antipope, Anselm was taken prisoner, and died at Rome, August 24, 1136: See Ughell, Italia Sacra,: volume 4; Scherer, in Wetzer. u. Welte’s Kirchenlexikon, s.v. (B.P.)

Anselm (2)
canon and theologist of the Church of St. Lambert AT LIEGE, and afterwards dean of Namur, lived about the year 1049. The bishop Vazon became interested in him on account of his eminent merit, and his successor went with Anselm on a pilgrimage to Rome. He died, it is supposed, about 1056. He prepared Histoire des Eveques de Liege, commenced by the canon Alexander, and continued by Anselm from about 1050 to 1056. The work is composed of two parts the first containing a history of the first twenty-seven bishops of Liege; and the second the bishops down to Vazon inclusive. This second part is found in Martine, from an ancient MS., more than six centuries old, found in the Abbey of St. Hubert, which belonged to M. de Crassier. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.

Anselm (3)
ST., born at Mantua, of noble parents, was raised in 1061 to the bishopric. OF LUCCA, by pope Alexander II, having received investiture at the hand of the emperor Henry, by the ring and pastoral staff; he was afterwards seized with remorse, resigned his see, and retired to Cluny. In 1073 Gregory VII recalled him, and reinstated him in the bishopric. This pope employed him in various legations, and, among others, in 1084, charged him with the office of reconciling to the Church, as his legate in all Italy, those who deserted the emperor’s cause. He died in 1086, having written two books against Guibert the antipope and his followers; and a work, composed of sentences from various authors, to show that the powers of the Church are not under the control of the king or Caesar. See Canisius, Antiq. Lect. 6, 202, 235; Cave, Hist. Lit. 2, 150.

Anselm (6)
dean of the cathedral church of Laon, flourished at the end of the 11th century. He died July 15, 1117. He illustrated the entire Old and New Testaments with an Interlineary Glossary, compiled from the fathers, which has been several times printed, with the additions of Lyra and others, especially at Antwerp, in 1634; also, the Commentary on St. Matthew, and Explanations of various Passages in the Gospels, Epistles of St. Paul, Apocalypse, etc., which are printed under the name of Anselm of Canterbury, are attributed by many writers to this author. But Dupin asserts that they are from the pen of Herveus, a monk of Bourg, near Dol.
