Life
Saints Amandus and Anselm were abbots of the monastery of Lérins, on the island off southern France, in the seventh and eighth centuries.
Amandus succeeded Saint Aigulf as head of the monastery in 676 and reposed in 708. Anselm, another abbot of Lérins, lived later, around 750. The sources give no other events of their lives. They are saints of the undivided Church and are commemorated on 18 November (New Calendar).
