Product Description Sant’Anselmo in Rome was founded in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII for the training of Benedictines from all over the world in philosophy and theology. To this day, Sant’Anselmo is characterized by the interplay between the Benedictine College and the university entrusted to it, the Pontificio Ateneo di Sant’Anselmo, which for decades has also welcomed non-Benedictine students. For well over a century Sant’Anselmo has had a strong influence on Benedictine monasteries in every continent while providing a lasting service to the Universal Church through the pursuit of academic liturgical and theological studies.

Over the past one hundred years, about two-thirds of all abbots studied there. Sant'Anselmo has become a unifying element for the Benedictine Order as a whole and all the more important today when Benedictines are present all over the world." Abbot Primate Notker Wolf, OSB "Pius Engelbert has written a very fine book. It is a joy to behold the attractive layout and the excellent photos. This is a book that needed to be written."Terrence Kardong, OSB,  Tjurunga "Liturgical Press merits a note of gratitude for providing a translation of the German original and packaging it in a durable, elegant edition. Engelbert has certainly given us the historical groundwork for an institution that until this book has lacked a scholarly and synthetic treatment."Joel Rippinger, OSB,  American Benedictine Review "From cover thru interior, the combination of black-and-white with color photography should make a good presentation on any coffee table."Catholic Press Association award, 2nd place About the Author Pius Engelbert is a Benedictine monk and former abbot of the Abbey of St. Joseph at Gerleve in Westphalia, Germany.
