8almeron Salvation THE NEW SCHAFF-HERZOG 17'8 Stockholm. In the following year, however, the climate and his controversies with Isaak Vossius and Nicolaus Heinsius caused him to return to Leyden, laden with gifts and honors from the queen. His theological works deal with exegesis, church history, and canon law. To the first category be long his editions of Nilus' De primatu papm Romani and Barlaam's Monachi (Hanau, 1608), and to the second his Amici ad amicum de suburbicariis regioni bus et ecdesiis subnrbieariis epistola (n.p., 1619) and also his Eucharisticon Jacobo Sirmondo-both in de fense of Jacques Sirmond (q.v.) against Jacobus Gothofredus. Salmasius published an edition of Tertullian's De pallio (Paris, 1622), which led Pe tavius to write his pseudonymous Antonii Kerkoetii animadversorum liber, to which Salmasius replied in the Confutatio animadversorum Antonii Cercwtii, auctore Francisco Franco (Middelburg, 1623). In 1638 the De usuris (Leyden, 1638) involved its author in strife with theologians and jurists. This was followed by the De modo usurarum (1639), Dia triba de mutuo (1640), and Dissertatio de fanore (1640). Petavius assailed Salmasius in his Disser tationes ecdesiasticcv, and Salmasius answered in the pseudonymous Walonis Messalini de episeopis et presbyteris (1641), and in De primatu papte (1645). In like manner he wrote, under the pseudonym of Simplicius Verinus, the De transsubstantione (The Hague, 1646). (G. LAUBMANNt).

SALMERON, sdl'me-ron", ALPHONSO: Jesuit; b. at Toledo Oct. 8, 1515; d. at Naples Feb. 13, 1585.

SALT: Important both as a condiment and as an element in the Hebrew ritual of sacrifice. The Dead Sea rendered it easy for the ancient Hebrews to obtain salt (Gen. xiv. 3; Deut. iii. 17; Josh. iii. 16), and they obtained it also from the Mediterranean. Crystals of salt were found on the shore of the Dead Sea ready for gathering (cf. Ecclus. xliii. 19), and at the southern extremity of the same sea are beds of rock salt (cf. Gen. xix. 26; Wisd. of Sol., x. 7). The marshes in the vicinity of the Dead Sea have an incrustation of coarse salt when the water recedes each year (Ezek. xlvii. 11; Zeph. ii. 9). For many thousand years the tribes about the Dead Sea have driven a thriving trade in salt. According to I Mace. x. 29, xi. 35, a tax was levied on salt, of which the temple consumed immense quantities (Ezra vi. 7); supplies of salt could be obtained in the temple market by the worshipers (Ezra vi. 9, vii. 22). According to Josephus the salt of Sodom alone was used for the temple.
