Italian original Cite

DESING, ANSELM. - Benedictine, b. at Amberg on 15 March 1699, d. at Ensdorf on 17 Dec. 1772. He taught at Freising, at Ensdorf, at Salzburg; in 1761 he was elected abbot of Ensdorf.

A man of encyclopedic culture, he also cultivated the art of engraving and painting. Having entered into debate with English and French deism, he treated problems of natural and civil law (Ius naturale liberatum ac repurgatum, 1753; Ius gentium redactum ad limites suos, 1753, etc.). He defended the thesis of the emanation of royal power from the power of God, against Wigs, who placed the foundation and origin of the State in a contract.
