Topic: Anastasius Bibliothecarius


  
  Anastasius Bibliothecarius
Anastasius learned Greek from Greek monks, and obtained an unusual education for his era, so that he appears to be the most learned ecclesiastic of Rome in the barbaric period of the ninth century.
During the reign of Nicholas I (855-67) Anastasius was abbot of the monastery of the Virgin Mary on the farther side of the Tiber (in Trastevere), and he was employed by the pope in various matters.
Anastasius was in correspondence with the deposed Byzantine patriarch, Photius, and sought to mediate between the patriarch and the pope and also to assuage the controversy over the Holy Ghost by assuming that the Latins understood the procession (processio) of the Holy Ghost from the Son in the sense of transmission (missio).

 Anastasius Bibliothecarius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anastasius learned the Greek language from Eastern Roman monks and obtained an unusual education for his era, such that he appears to be the most learned ecclesiastic of Rome in the barbaric period of the 9th century.
During the reign of Pope Nicholas I (855-867) Anastasius was abbot of Santa Maria in Trastevere on the farther side of the Tiber and was employed by the Pope in various matters.
After the death of Pope Leo IV in 855 this Anastasius was elected as Antipope by the imperial party, but the rightfully elected Pope Benedict III, gained the supremacy, and acted kindly towards the usurper.

 Anastasius Bibliothecarius
After a reconciliation Anastasius became papal librarian and disputed with the Greek Orthodox theologian Photius, patriarch of Constantinople (858-867; 878-886), over the question of the Holy Spirit's relationship within the Christian Trinity, a controversy crucial to Eastern and Western doctrinal differences leading to open schism.
Anastasius' Latin translations of the council's proceedings and compilation of other documents relating to the monothelite controversy contributed to the history of Western theology.
Included in Anastasius' major writings are commentaries on the influential 6th-century Neoplatonic philosopher Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and probably the accounts of Popes Nicholas I and Adrian II in the Liber pontificalis (Latin: "The Book of the Popes"), an essential source for the history of primitive Christianity.

 History of the Christian Church, Volume IV: Mediaeval Christianity. A.D. 590-1073.
Anastasius, librarian of the Roman Church, hence surnamed the “Librarian,” to distinguish him from others of the same name, was abbot of the monastery of Sancta Maria trans Tiberim under Nicolas I. He was sent in 869 to Constantinople as ambassador to arrange a marriage between the daughter of Louis II.
The name Anastasius is too common in Church history to render it necessary or safe to resort to such an improbable identification.
The fame of Anastasius rests upon his numerous translations from the Greek and his supposed connection with the Liber Pontificalis.

Between the death of Leo IV (July, 855) and the election of Benedict III (September, 855), Anastasius was briefly the anti-pope.
Anastasius did many translations between 872-878 for Pope John VIII; their quality is uneven.
Anastasius wrote commentaries on the writings of St. Dionysios the Areopagite and contributed to the Liber Pontificalis.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Liber Pontificalis
In the sixteenth century Onofrio Panvinio on quite insufficient grounds attributed to Anastasius Bibliothecarius in the ninth century the continuation of the biographies as far as Nicholas I.
A great many biographies of the predecessors of Anastasius II are full of errors and historically untenable, but from Anastasius II on the information on the ecclesiastico-political history of the popes is valuable and historically certain.
Anastasius bibliothecarius perhaps wrote the life of Nicholas I (858-67), a genuine, though brief, history of this pope; this author may also have worked at the life of the following pope, Adrian II (867-72), with whose pontificate the text of this Liber Pontificalis, as exhibited in the extant manuscripts, comes to an end.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Anastasius Bibliothecarius
He was also active as an author, and translated Greek works into Latin, one of these being the biography of St. John the Almsgiver, which he dedicated to Nicholas I.
The successor of Nicholas, Adrian II (867-72), appointed Anastasius librarian of the Roman Church, an important office which gave him much influence at the papal Court.
The "Liber Pontificalis", which was formerly ascribed to him, was not written by him; he seems to have shared in the revision of the "Life" of Nicholas I.

 History of the Mass (2histort.htm)
Bibliothecarius Anastasius who had been excommunicated, claimed the papal throne but the people elected Pope Benedict III on September 29, 855.
The experience moved the former antipope greatly for Anastasius not only repented and was reinstituted into the Church but went on to become a counselor to the next three pontiffs.
A year later it was discovered that Anastasius had no part in the murders and he was reinstated in the Church and regained his old office in the papal chancery as counselor.

 Liber Pontificalis - LoveToKnow 1911
A supplement continues the series of lives almost to the close of the 9th century, and several other continuations were written later.
During the 16th century there was some discussion about the authorship of the Liber, and for some time it was thought to be the work of an Italian monk, Anastasius Bibliothecarius (d.
This is the view taken by Louis Duchesne and substantially by G. Waitz and T. Mommsen, although these scholars think that it was written about a century later.

 The Passion and Miracles of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica by Anastasius the Librarian
Anastasius the Librarian ("Bibliothecarius") was the leading Greek scholar in the West during the 9th-century and served Popes Adrian II (867-72) and John VIII (872-82) as their librarian.
Anastasius the humble to the most pious and ever august lord, the emperor Charles, [who holds his] crown and kingdom with Christ.
I have recently translated the passion and miracles of the blessed martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica from Greek into Latin at the encouragement of [my] brothers, especially of that most learned man John the Deacon, who is very well known [to you] because of the orthodoxy of your faith and the splendour of your knowledge.

But the Monophysites saw more clearly, and Anastasius of Mount Sinai tells us that they boasted "they had not communicated with Chalcedon, but Chalcedon with them, by acknowledging one nature of Christ through one operation".
Maximus (662), his disciple the monk Anastasius (also 662), and another Anastasius, a papal envoy (666), died of ill-treatment, martyrs to their orthodoxy and devotion to the Apostolic See.
He restored to the diptychs Sergius, Honorius, and the other hereties condemned by the council; he burned the acts (but privately, in the palace), he deposed the Patriarch Cyrus, and exiled some persons who refused to subscribe a rejection of the council.

 Georgius Syncellus
Georgius Syncellus's chronicle was continued by his friend Theophanes Confessor (Theophanes homologetes).
Anastasius Bibliothecarius composed a "Historia tripartita" in Latin, from the chronicle of Syncellus, Theophanes, and Nicephorus the Patriarch (806-815).
This work, written between 873 and 875 (Anastasius was papal librarian), spread Syncellus's chronological ideas in the West also.

 St. Maximus of Constantinople
He wrote on this account to his disciple the Abbot Anastasius, who was able to send a letter to warn "the men of elder Rome firm as a rock" of the deceitful confession which the Patriarch Peter was despatching to the pope.
On the day of the first trial a council of clergy was held, and the emperor was persuaded to send Maximus to Byzia in Thrace, and his disciples, Abbot Anastasius and Anastasius the papal apocrisiarius, to Perberis and Mesembria.
A long letter of the Roman Anastasius tells us of their sufferings on the journey to Colchis where they were imprisoned in different forts.

That Anastasius Bibliothecarius translated from the Greek the Passion of St. Peter, Bishop of Alexandria, is affirmed by Anastasius himself in his prologue, Ad Passionem Martyrum, MCCCCLXXX., published by Mabillon in the Museum Italicum, tom.
Anastasius, the librarian of the Roman church, translated from the Greek into Latin the Passion of St. Peter, Archbishop of Alexandria.
So all the successors of the apostles at Rome, including St. Peter himself, are transformed into "Popes." We owe this abuse to the "False Decretals," of which we treat hereafter.

The name is then revealed to the world in the "Habemus papam" ("We have a pope") announcement from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica shortly before the new pontiff appears to give his first blessing.
In the early church, most popes kept their own names, which accounts for such archaic appellations as Adeodatus, Formosus, Hyginus and Anastasius Bibliothecarius.
In the 20th century, three popes took the name Pius, one Benedict, one Paul, and one John.
