He successfully opposed the teachings of Berengarius, which were considered heretical by the Pope, defending the measures of Gregory VII during the Investiture Controversy. He is the author of numerous works in theology, hagiography, grammar, rhetoric and music; and is the author of the earliest medieval treatise on ars dictaminis, or letter-writing (De dictamine). Many of his letters are found in the works of Peter Damian. One of his pupils, John of Gaeta, was the future Pope Gelasius II.

- 1.Questa informazione è data per scontata nelle pubblicazioni locali collocate fra fine Ottocento e metà Novecento, come quelle del Venturini e del Lauri, ma non sappiamo con quanta attendibilità. Valga per tutte questa notazione: "Settefrati ... non è soltanto noto per il celebre Santuario di Canneto; esso figura nelle enciclopedie grandi e piccole ... perché ha dato la vita al Cardinale Alberico Anserici, ingegno gagliardo e multiforme che splende fra le tenebre medioevali; a Frate Alberico che con la sua mistica "Visione" accese l'audace fantasia dell'Altisimo Poeta di nostra stirpe". Achille Lauri, Settefrati attraverso la sua storia, in "Latina gens", 7(1929), n. 7, p. 322.
- 2.Il loro sodalizio è documentato dai Dialogi di Desiderio (in Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Germ. Hist., Scriptores, XXX, p. 1111 s.), in cui Alberico è rappresentato dal personaggio di Teofilo. Secondo alcuni critici A. collaborò direttamente alla stesura dei Dialogi
- 3.San Pier Damiani, Opuscula, in Patrololgia Latina, 145, coll. 621 s.
- 4.Questa notizia fu ritenuta erronea da Cesare Baronio, ma sembra accertato che il Baronio si riferiva ad un concilio precedente (1059), imperniato sul medesimo argomento. In uno scritto dello stesso Berengario Alberico è definito "quel cassinese non monaco, ma demoniaco". Per tutta la questione della sua partecipazione al sinodo romano del 1078-1079 si veda quanto discusso da Anselmo Lentini nella ricca e documentata voce del Dizionario biografico degli italiani, citata in bibliografia.
