Definition: The word "Anselmi" refers to a specific type of ancient Greek text, specifically known as the "Aesop's Fables." It was written by Aesop, a Roman author, about stories of cunning animals that appear in various parts of the world. The word "Anselmi" is also used metaphorically to describe a person who manipulates others or deceives others for personal gain. In the Bible, Anselmi is often depicted as an antagonist who seeks to control people and manipulate events in order to his own ends. The word was originally translated into English from Latin, which means "an enemy," "a villain," "a trickster," or "a cunning manipulator." It became a literary term of abuse.

Definition: The term "Anselmian" refers to an ecclesiastical order of clergy, a specific form of the Franciscan Order. Anselmines were the first in their line of religious men who established an ecclesiastical community centered around prayer and monastic life, often following their own personal model, rather than the norms set by the Roman Church. The definition of "Anselmian" can vary depending on the context but generally refers to individuals or communities that follow a specific form of spiritual discipline similar to that found within the Franciscan Order. These communities are known for their strict adherence to monastic life and religious orders, often in a hierarchical structure where monks are expected to lead the community and live a disciplined, austere lifestyle. This can include aspects such as asceticism, meditation practices, pilgrimage, prayer, contemplation, fasting, and silence. The Anselmian movement sought to instill spiritual discipline within communities and to promote order and harmony among members.
