_St. Anselm._
Was born at Aoust in Piedmont, and was made archbishop of Canterbury, by
William Rufus, in 1093. Butler gives a circumstantial account of his
life and writings, from whence it appears that Anselm was a learned and
skilful theologian, and conducted his affairs with great circumspection
and obedience to the papal see under William I. and II., and Henry I.;
and that he died on the 21st of April, 1109, aged seventy-six: he says,
“We have authentic accounts of many admirable miracles wrought by this
saint.”
