    Comment Anastasius bibliothecarius, papal librarian and antipope. He was also known as translator of the popes. A. was born into an influential Roman family, his uncle was Arsenius, bishop of Orte, and emissary of the papacy on important missions. His family tried to be close to the Carolingians as well, especially the emperors Lothar I and Louis II. A. was part-time teacher of the latter’s daughter Ermengard. A. feld Rome around the year 850 to escape the influence of Pope Leo IV. (847-855), who had him deposed as priest and declared anathema against him twice. Still, when Leo died, A. tried to claim the papal throne in 855 and nearly succeeded. Despite limited Carolingian support, he was forced to flee from Rome again. Under Nicholas I, pope 858-867, he was back in Rome as abbot of S. Maria in Trastevere. He was needed for his excellent skills in Greek language and diplomacy and was charged with writing most of the letters Pope Nicholas exchanged with Emperor Michael III and Patriarch Photios in Constantinople. In 868, A. had to flee Rome again, after his cousin had murdered the pope’s daughter. He travelled to Constantinople as imperial Carolingian envoy in 869/870 and was re-instated in Rome in 871. He became papal librarian in 872 and remained in that office until his death in c. 879.
