  Claudius Salmasius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claudius Salmasius is the Latin name of Claude Saumaise (April 15, 1588 - September 3, 1653), a French classical scholar.
In 1606 or 1607 Salmasius had discovered, in the library of the Counts Palatine in Heidelberg, the only surviving copy of Cephalas's early unexpurgated copy of the Greek Anthology, including the 258-poem anthology of homoerotic poems by Straton of Sardis that would eventually become known as the notorious Book 12 of the Greek Anthology.
In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinus's Polyhistor, or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work.

Claudius II Claudius II Gothicus, Marcus Aurelius Claudius Gothicus (reigned 268 - 270) ruled the Roman Empire for less than two years, but during that brief time, he was so successful and beloved by the people of Rome that he still attained divine status.
Claudius was born in 214 in the province of Illyricum or in Upper Moesia (probably either Dardania or the modern Sirmium region in Croatia and Serbia).
Claudius II Gothicus is also known to history for his execution of a little-known Christian monk named Valentinus, who secretly married Claudius' soldiers in defiance of an order from him that professional soldiers were not to marry.

 Roman Emperors DIR Quintilius
Earlier, the HA quotes an alleged letter from Claudius to Aurelian, appointing the latter commander in the ongoing campaign against the Goths and assuring him that Quintillus, when he links up with him, "will be with him." (Aurelian 13.3: tecum erit etiam frater Quintillus, cum occurrerit).
Whatever the length of his reign, it was of sufficient time to allow most of the mints of the empire to strike issues bearing his name.
An equally suspect Claudia, daughter of this Crispus, is said to have married an almost certainly fabricated Eutropius, from which union allegedly came Constantius Chlorus, the father of Constantine the Great.

But to this Salmasius answers: (1) Such an argument would lead as well to the condemning and abolition of the loan bearing no interest, inasmuch as it is impossible, in the case of a perishable thing, to transfer a "use," whose existence is denied, even if no interest is asked for it.
Salmasius -- of course under accessory circumstances that made it much more difficult -- did for the interest problem what never required to be done for the land-rent problem, just because it was too self-evident; he proved that the hirer pays the rent he has agreed to pay because that which is hired produces it.
Salmasius begins with the argument of the improper double claim for one commodity.

I, Claudius is a novel by Robert Graves, first published in 1934, dealing sympathetically with the life of the Roman emperor Claudius.
The book was to have been the subject of a 1937 film, produced by Alexander Korda and starring Charles Laughton, but it was dogged by ill-luck, culminating in a serious accident involving the female star, Merle Oberon, which caused filming to be abandoned.
In 1975, the book, together with its sequel, Claudius the God, was finally adapted by the BBC and proved one of the corporation's most successful drama serials of all time.

His anthology was the only one known to Western Europe (his autograph copy, dated 1301 survives; the first edition based on his collection was printed in 1494) until 1606 when Claudius Salmasius found in the library at Heidelberg a fuller collection based on Cephalas.
The copy made by Salmasius was not, however, published until 1776, when Richard Francois Philippe Brunck[?] included it in his Analecta.

Excellent copy of the first edition of this strong attack on astrology which the author considered to be unreliable and an indication of human vanity.
Salmasius believed that the new interest in the subject bore little relation to the old art of astrology and criticised the gross errors made by Arabic translators; he also maintained that the signs of the zodiac were modern creations.
His attacks were more convincing and more original than those which had been made before, since they relied more on history and scholarship, instead of a defence of religion.

This manuscript was discovered in the library of the Counts Palatine in Heidelberg in 1606 or 1607, by a young visiting scholar named Claudius Salmasius.
There is no clear record of how it got there, but a visiting Italian scholar probably left it; around the middle of the 1500s the scholar and antiquarian Fulvio Orsini had seen and mentioned such a manuscript, then in the possession of one Angelo Colloti.
