LXVIII.
Salvianus,2687
| 2687 Born about 390, Presbyter about 428, died about 484. | presbyter of
Marseilles, well informed both in secular and in sacred literature, and
to speak without invidiousness, a master among bishops, wrote many
things in a scholastic and clear style, of which I have read the
following: four books On the Excellence of virginity, to
Marcellus the presbyter, three books Against avarice, five books
On the present judgment,2688
| 2688 present judgment more generally
known as Divine Providence (De gubernatione Dei.) | and one
book On punishment according to desert, addressed to Salonius
the bishop, also one book of Commentary on the latter part of
the book of Ecclesiastes, addressed to Claudius bishop of
Vienne, one book of Epistles.2689
| 2689 one book of epistles a 25 30; omit A T
31 e 21. | He also
composed one book in verse after the Greek fashion, a sort of
Hexaemeron, covering the period from the beginning of Genesis to
the creation of man, also many Homilies delivered to the
bishops, and I am sure I do not know how many On the sacraments.
He is still living at a good old age.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
