See also:SALMASIUS, See also:CLAUDIUS , the Latinized name of See also:CLAUDE SAUMAISE (1588—1653), See also:French classical See also:scholar, See also:born at Semuren-Auxois in See also:Burgundy on the 15th of See also:April 1588. His See also:father, a counsellor of the See also:parlement of See also:Dijon, sent him, at the See also:age of sixteen, to See also:Paris, where he became intimate with See also:Casaubon. He proceeded in 16o6 to the university of See also:Heidelberg, where he devoted himself to the See also:classics.
Here he embraced Protestantism, the See also:religion of his See also:mother; and his first publication (I 6o8) was an edition of a See also:work by Nilus See also:Cabasilas, See also:archbishop of Thessalonica, in the 14th See also:century, against the primacy of the See also:pope (De primatu Papae), and of a similar See also:tract by the Calabrian See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

monk Barlaam (d. c. 1348). In 16o9 he brought out an edition of Floras. He then returned to Burgundy, anfl qualified for the See also:succession to his father's See also:post, which he eventually lost on See also:account of his religion. In 1620 he published Casaubon's notes on the Augustan See also:History, with copious additions of his own. In 1623 he married See also:Anne See also:Mercier, a See also:Protestant See also:lady of a distinguished See also:family; the See also:union was by no means a happy one, his wife being represented as a second See also:Xanthippe. In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum See also:opus as a critic, his commentary on See also:Solinus's Polyhistor, or rather on See also:Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important See also:part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his See also:con-temporaries, it is a See also:monument of learning and See also:industry. Salmasius learned Arabic to qualify himself for the botanical part of his task. After declining overtures from See also:- OXFORD

Oxford, See also:Padua and See also:Bologna, in 1631 he accepted the professorship formerly held by See also:Joseph Scalier at See also:Leiden. Although the See also:appointment in many ways suited him, he found the See also:climate trying; and he was persistently attacked by a jealous clique, led by See also:Daniel See also:Heinsius. who as university librarian refused him See also:access to the books he wished to consult.

Holland, he composed at the See also:request of See also:Prince See also:Frederick of See also:Nassau, his See also:treatise on the military See also:system of the See also:Romans (De re militari Romanorum), which was not published until 1657. Other See also:works followed, mostly philological. but including a denunciation of wigs and See also:hair-See also:powder, and a vindication of moderate and lawful See also:interest for See also:money, which, although it See also:drew down upon him many expostulations from lawyers and theologians, induced the Dutch See also:- CHURCH

Church to admit money-lenders to the See also:sacrament. His treatise De primatu Papae (1645), accompanying a republication of the tract of Nilus Cabasilas, excited a warm controversy in See also:France, but the See also:government declined to suppress it.
In See also:November 1649 appeared the work by which Salmasius is best remembered, his Defensio regia See also:pro Carolo I. His See also:advice had already been sought on See also:English and Scottish affairs, and, inclining to See also:Presbyterianism or a modified See also:Episcopacy, he had written against the See also:Independents. It does not appear by whose See also:influence he was induced to undertake the Defensio regia, but See also:Charles II. defrayed the expense of See also:printing, and presented theauthor with £roo. The first edition was See also:anonymous, but the author was universally known. A French See also:translation which speedily appeared under the name of Claude Le See also:Gros was the work of Salmasius himself. This celebrated work, in our See also:day principally famous for the reply it provoked from See also:Milton, even in its own See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time added little to the reputation of the author. His reply to Milton, which he See also:left unfinished at his See also:death, and which was published by his son in 166o, is insipid as well as abusive. Until the See also:appearance of Milton's rejoinder in See also:March 1651 the effect of the Defensio was no doubt considerable; and it probably helped to procure him the flattering invitation from See also:Queen See also:Christina which induced him to visit See also:Sweden in 165o. Christina loaded him with gifts and distinctions, but upon the appearance of Milton's See also:book was unable to conceal her conviction that he had been worsted by his antagonist. Milton, addressing Christina herself, ascribes Salmasius's withdrawal from Sweden in 1651 to See also:mortification at this affront, but this appears to be negatived by the warmth of Christina's subsequent letters and her pressing invitation to return. The claims of the university of Leiden and dread of a second See also:Swedish See also:winter seem fully adequate motives. Nor is there any See also:foundation for the belief that Milton's invectives hastened his death, which took See also:place on the 3rd of See also:September 1653, from an injudicious use of the See also:Spa See also:waters.
As a commentator and verbal critic, Salmasius is entitled to very high See also:rank. His notes on the Augustan History and Solinus display not only massive erudition but massive See also:good sense as well; his See also:perception of the meaning of his author is commonly very acute, and his corrections of the See also:text are frequently highly felicitous. His manly See also:independence was shown in many circumstances, and the See also:bias of his mind was liberal and sensible. He was accused of sourness of See also:temper; but the See also:charge, if it had any foundation, is extenuated by the wretched See also:condition of his See also:health.
The See also:life of Salmasius was written at See also:great length by Philibert de la See also:Mare, counsellor of the parlement of Dijon, who inherited his See also:MSS, from his son. Papillon says that this See also:biography left nothing to See also:desire, but it has never been printed. It was, however, used by Papillon himself, whose account of Salmasius in hisBibliotheque See also:des auteurs de Bourgogne (Dijon, 1745) is by far the best extant, and contains an exhaustive See also:list of his works, both printed and in MS. There is an eloge by A. See also:Clement prefixed to his edition of Salmasius's Letters (Leiden, 1656), and another by C. B. Morisot, inserted in his own Letters (Dijon, 1656). See also E. Haag, La France protestante, (ix. 149-173); and, for the Defensio regia, G. See also:Masson's Life of Milton.
