Anselm de Parma (d. 1440)
Anselm de Parma (d. 1440)
An astrologer born in Parma, where he died in 1440. He wrote Astrological Institutions, a work that has never been printed. Johan Weyer and some other demonologists classed Anselm with sorcerers, because certain charlatans, who healed sores by means of mysterious words, had taken the name of "Anselmites." It has been noted by Naudé, however, that, in fact, sorcerers claimed to have received their gift of healing not from Anselm of Parma, but from St. Anselm of Canterbury.
